Slack standup reminder, weekdays at 9am

Post a daily message to your team's Slack channel without writing a Slack app.

Use this template →schedule: 0 9 * * 1-5

Why this exists

Slack accepts incoming webhooks — you can POST a JSON payload to a unique URL and a message appears in the channel. This template wires that into a cron schedule: weekdays at 9am, a reminder ping in #standup. No Slack app needed.

Remote teams, async standups, recurring team rituals. Also works as the foundation for any recurring Slack notification — birthday reminders, deploy windows, on-call rotations.

When to use it

Your team does async standups in Slack
You want recurring Slack messages without building a bot
You need reminders that survive someone going on vacation

Common variations

Friday afternoon retro reminders
Daily on-call rotation handoff at 9am
Weekly KPI digest by piping in numbers from your API

Setup in 4 steps

01In Slack: Apps → Incoming Webhooks → add to the channel you want → copy the webhook URL
02Paste that URL into the webhook field after using this template
03Customize the message text in the body (Slack's Block Kit also works)
