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
1
Connect Slack
Go to Integrations → Slack and click Marketing Boost Channels. Authorize Ordinal to access your Slack workspace.
2
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.3
Enable auto-boost (optional)
Toggle Auto-boost on a channel to notify on every post automatically. You can still remove boosts from individual posts.
Slack Boost is configured. Posts will now notify your team.
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.
| Channel example | Use case |
|---|---|
#social-boost | All boost requests |
#marketing | Marketing team content |
#leadership | Executive posts |
