Is it possible to configure a Slack channel to be public but read-only for all and only e.g. Jenkins user can write messages in it?

(Apologies if it is off-topic for SO)

Edit: seems like the bot has been retired. Please see comments.

It sounds like you may want to use the block functionality provided by slacktodo:

Something to make note of:

All team members can view a blocked channel but can't write to it. Their message will appear for a split second, then get kicked off by the bot.
