Tightknit Release Notes (July 1, 2026)
🧱 Richer Slack Layouts, Now In Your Community
Slack recently introduced new Block Kit layouts: containers, cards, carousels, and tables, for richer and more visual messages. Tightknit now fully supports these newer layouts, so any Slack post built with them renders correctly on your companion forums site, with its text, links, and mentions captured so the content stays fully searchable. Whether a message uses a swipeable carousel, stacked cards, or a data table, your members see it the way you see it in Slack.
🛠️ Improvements and Fixes Companion Forums Site
Search perf improvement - Optimized performance of most searches.
Search Result tabs fix - Fixed a bug where Resources tab may be shown for filtering even when content resources are turned off for the site.
Studio
Members list shows full names - The members list and CSV export now additionally show each member's Full Name and slack Display Name columns.
Members Export button fix - The Export button no longer disappears on narrower screens, and a new Cmd+K action lets you export the members CSV from anywhere in Studio.
Datatable display columns button fix - Fixed a bug where the column display configuration button was not appearing over data tables.
Slack
Redesigned Community Home for members - The non-admin Slack App Home has a fresh layout. Upcoming events, awards, and achievements appear in carousels and cards.
Configure Your Feed prompt clears after you finish - The feed setup onboarding prompt no longer lingers with stale buttons after you configure it or skip the step.
Salesforce Integration 1.8.0.1
Setup: assign the Tightknit Users permission set - Step 1 of the Salesforce Setup wizard now includes an optional step explaining how to grant end users the read-only Tightknit Users permission set group, so they can see Tightknit data on Contact and Account record pages.
Component permission warnings - the LWC components now warn users they lack permission to see data if they do not have access to the underlying objects, instead of displaying a "no data" state.

🔒 Private Feeds On The Companion Site (Beta)
We've reframed how feeds work and how you control their visibility on the companion site. You no longer need to create a feed for a Slack channel by hand: every channel always has a feed that acts as its outlet to your companion site, and all you do is configure each feed's visibility. By default a feed is disabled, which means it is not visible or accessible from the site at all. You can change a feed's visibility to the following options:
Disabled - not visible on the site, to any user
Public - all users can view this feed
Authenticated only* - only logged-in community members can view this feed
Feed members* (private Slack channels only) - only logged-in users that are also members of the channel/feed can view this feed
*These options are only available to customers on the Enterprise plan. Please reach out if you are interested in joining the beta.
📊 Slack Data Visualization Blocks
Did you know Slack launched data visualization blocks? They're pretty sweet, and they're supported in Tightknit! The new chart, line and bar graph blocks are perfect for sharing metrics, weekly updates, and dashboards from Slack straight to your community.
🛠️ Improvements and Fixes Companion Forums Site
Author names now reflect renames - Fixed an issue where posts and comments sent from the companion site kept the author's original name. The byline now reflects the author's current name whenever they rename their profile.
Search now matches post titles - Searching the companion site now finds posts by words in their title, not just the body.
Fixed inline Luma embeds for luma.com links - Event links using the newer luma.com URL format now open the embedded Luma checkout inline on event pages, matching the existing lu.ma support.
Corner branding applies to post and comment buttons - Fixed buttons on posts and comments so they now follow your site's corner radius branding token.
Security hardening - A range of security hardening fixes across the companion site, including stricter content sanitization and tighter content security policies.
Studio
Publish and unpublish discussions to your site - From the Studio discussion page you can now toggle whether a post or comment appears on the companion site. Toggling a post cascades to its whole thread of replies.
Slack
Auto-created feeds for activated channels - New feeds are auto-created for all channels that are activated. By default, these are disabled and not exposed to the companion site.
Cleaner member roster - Never-joined and cancelled Slack invites are no longer synced in as member profiles.
Integrations
Clearer Salesforce setup - The Salesforce setup flow now uses a friendlier step-by-step checklist.
Tightknit Release Notes (Jun 17, 2026)
🏷️ User Flair for Group Members (Enterprise)
You can now enable flair right next to a person's name on posts and comments, so your MVPs, moderators, and other recognized members stand out without anyone clicking into a profile. Assign a flair label to any of your Groups from within Studio, enable it to be displayed on the companion site, and then the Group members will have the option to display that flair through their site profile settings. If a user is a member of multiple groups, they may pick one to display. This feature is available to customers on the Enterprise plan.
🖼️ Image Uploads in Companion Site Posts
Last week we announced that user interactions were now Generally Available from the companion site, so your members could post and comment from the site. Members can now add images directly to the posts and comments they're writing to create rich and visually appealing content.
🛠️ Improvements and Fixes Companion Forums Site
⚠️ Passcode sign-in replaces magic links - The Magic Link authentication option for companion sites has been replaced with Email OTP codes, which are one-time passcodes you type in, for improved performance and reliability.
Responsive pinned posts - A single pinned post now stretches to fill the available width instead of leaving empty space, and three or more pins are displayed in a carousel.
Cleaner pinned post previews - Fixed issue where pinned post cards rendered raw markup instead of fully formatted text, including bold, mentions, and links.
Studio
Author footer on branding previews - Feed post previews in branding settings now show the author footer, so previews match what members actually see in the feed.
