Show FXMacroData release calendars, indicators, and market context to your Slack app audience under the Commercial Redistribution licence — self-service, priced on the audience you actually reach.

Self-service
Reported by your backend
There is no browser here to run a pixel, so your own server reports the audience. It already knows who signed in. Send one scrambled identifier per unique person per billing period and the meter does the rest — repeats are free, so retries and replays never move the count.
Slack app specifics
Report unique users who receive data through the app across all installing workspaces. Listing in the Slack App Directory is permitted — the restriction is on the listing exposing a feed, not on being listed.
Setting it up
- 01 Register the channel in API Management and copy the server key.
- 02 State roughly how many people use it each month. It is not what you are billed on; the licence requires the figure on record.
- 03 Hash each internal user id with a secret only you hold.
- 04 Post it once per person per billing period, then mark them done.
- 05 Show the FXMacroData attribution wherever the data appears.
One call per person per month

Questions about Slack app
What does it cost to publish FXMacroData through Slack app?
The Individual plan is USD 50 a month, plus USD 10 for every 100 users the channel reaches. A licence starts at USD 60 a month and there is a 14-day trial.
Do I need approval before publishing to Slack app?
No. Commercial Redistribution is self-service: subscribe, register the channel in API Management, and start. There is no application, quote, or review queue.
Can I publish charts and commentary through Slack app?
Yes. Charts, tables, calendars, alerts, written commentary, AI summaries, and translations are all allowed as long as attribution stays visible and the output cannot be used to rebuild the underlying dataset. What is not allowed is exposing a raw feed, an API, or a bulk download.
What happens if my Slack app audience grows?
The add-on follows it. Each additional 100 users adds USD 10 a month, and nothing needs renegotiating.
