There are a few reasons for this:

  1. If the format of the scheduled content is set to HTML, that format is not supported by Slack

2. The URL may be wrong. Make sure it includes all parts, especially the channel name. According to lookerbot docs, it must take the form:

https://APP_DOMAIN/slack/post/channel/channelname/

This content is subject to limited support.
