Status changed from Needs triage to Needs info
Hi, I tested this using some test communities on the main fluxer.app instance and think there is actually a UX improvement to be made here, but I could not repro the bug as described. Canary Desktop 2026.1106.11354, Web 2026.1107.32732, Linux 7.2.15-200.fc44.x86_64 (x64), Electron 44.10.0, Chrome 152.0.7977.169, Node 24.22.1, Locale en-US Specifically, the issue I think is present here is that there is no button prompting the user to publish a message that gets sent in through a webhook. In order to publish a webhook message in an announcement channel, you have to know to do the following:
  1. Hover the message
  2. Click the megaphone icon in the hover to publish
This is probably because the publish prompt only shows for messages you send into the announcement channel (other users don't get the publish prompt for messages sent by another user either btw), but perhaps webhook messages should show the prompt to anyone who has the ability to publish messages in an announcement channel. What do you think?

I can confirm your findings. Because of this, this post would be better classified as a feature rather than a bug. There's an opportunity here to make it more clear that webhook messages need to be manually published. But also for ease of use, I think it would be even better for webhook messages to auto-publish.

I'm down for that. I'll flip this over to a feature request. If you wouldn't mind editing your post to reflect what we've found here that would be helpful!
