How to Post a Wistia Video Preview Using the Community Bot

·Jan 19, 2026 04:32 PM·

hey team, how do i post a video (wistia link) from the community bot, context: i am using the slack builder to post my change log but it will not allow me to have a video preview in my message ( only will allow a watch video button in the post), i dont want to post the link as myself as a follow up message, id like to do it from the community, is this possible?

is it possible to cleanly upload a video in this square or a cleaner way to upload a video so it populates? https://alexbecker.wistia.com/medias/6hk2g8sjb8

Eli A. a few things:
1.
Sadly we don't have the ability to send as the bot if you're sending from Slack Block Builder
2.
We also don't have the ability yet to just send a message as the bot into the channel. Going to file a ticket to add you as a customer request for this one.
Best recommendation: Use the Tightknit Events framework to post a event with a recap of the event. You can also use the Event API if you're doing these in bulk.
