How Slack Boost works
- You configure Slack Boost for a post (or enable it by default)
- Once the post publishes to social platform(s), Ordinal sends a notification to your configured Slack channel
- Your team sees the live post with direct links
- Team members engage - likes, comments, shares - boosting visibility
- Post title (links to the post in Ordinal)
- Button to view on each platform where it published
- Your custom message, if you added one
Setting up Slack Boost
Connect Slack
Go to Integrations → Slack and click Marketing Boost Channels. Authorize Ordinal to access your Slack workspace.
Choose a channel
As part of the configuration, you’ll choose the specific channels you want to boost posts to e.g.
#marketing-boost or #marketing.Adding Slack Boost to posts
Manual boost
- Open a post and scroll to Post Automations
- Click + Slack Boost
- Select the Slack channel
- Add a custom message (optional)
Auto-boost
When auto-boost is enabled on a channel, every new post automatically includes a Slack Boost to that channel. Remove the boost from individual posts if not needed.Choosing the right channel
Target the right audience for each post. A company announcement might go to#all-hands while a product feature post goes to #product-team.
