Ideas for Using Slack’s New Carousel Component: Event Lists, Content Collections, and More Needed

·Apr 16, 2026 04:24 PM·

Slack just launched a brand new carousel component and we're all freaking out over here at Tightknit. But we want your ideas on what we could use it for. Some we have already:

1.
See a list of events with registration buttons
2.
Share content collections in Slack with links to view them
3.
Sharing groups of users with their profiles in Slack

Need more! Post in the threads 🧵 -- so exciting

Events around an event — like Dreamforce, Inbound, AWS re:Invent, Canva Create, etc.

tell me more about both! What would be the photo for "advocacy opportunities"?

I'd work with design on the images for advocacy ops, likely icons. We could have them for different review sites.

This could also work well on a pinned post with different product guides

Where is the info on the Slack Carousel post?

I think it's in the article about the slack builder kit/ JSON - I found it referenced there.

Pinned content stepping members through private/guided group areas. We use a carousel in private groups for
Welcome & Tell us about yourself Thread
Guidelines thread (for that area) if specifics are needed
Current Events / Latest Release / Important stuff (this one changes - the other two do not as much)
Learning Paths - (maybe your content collections example?) especially useful if the carousel continues past 3 items.
