Commands

Brand Guard has two Slack commands, both for topic suggestions, and one on-demand audit in the app. Everything else it does happens when another agent calls it. Results from the Slack commands post in the channel where you ran them.

Suggest Topics

/brand-guard-suggest-topics [brand]

Brand Guard drafts a set of content topic ideas for the brand and posts a card in the channel. Leave the brand out to use your default brand. A short private message confirms the request while the ideas are being written.

Each topic on the card shows a title, its content pillar, scores for how much of a gap it fills and how well it fits your ideal client, and a short rationale. Ideas that are already in your topic queue are not proposed again.

Review Pending Topics

/brand-guard-review-topics [brand]

Posts the card of topics still waiting for a decision, without generating new ones. Use it to pick up topics someone suggested earlier.

Approval Buttons

The topic card has these buttons:

• Greenlight: moves that topic from idea to briefed, so it becomes eligible for a brief and a draft. The row changes to "Greenlit". Nothing is drafted or published by this click.
• Dismiss: drops the topic. The row changes to "Dismissed", and the topic is not proposed again unless it is re-suggested.
• Greenlight All: asks you to confirm, then moves every pending topic for the brand to briefed.
• Dismiss All: asks you to confirm, then dismisses every pending topic for the brand.

Run an Audit in the App

Open the Brand Auditor screen in the app and click New Audit. The form asks for:

• Draft Content: the exact text to check, including hashtags, calls to action, and disclosures. Required.
• Brand: whose rules to score against. Leave it blank for your default brand.
• Channel: where the draft will publish, such as LinkedIn, Email, Blog, Paid ads, or Landing page. Some rules apply only to certain channels.
• Post Kind: optional, such as Long-Form or Ad Headline.
• Reference: optional link or ID so the audit can be traced to its source.

Click Run Audit. The result shows the decision, the score, the score breakdown, the findings, and any suggested redlines, with a link to open the full audit. The audit is recorded like any other. This works in every brand checking mode, including Off.

Read an Audit

Open any audit from the Brand Auditor screen to see its score, the decision, each area's score with a note, the flagged findings, the redlines, and a trail of the fixed rules that fired.

Record an Override

On an audit that was not auto-approved, the Record Override button asks for a reason and saves it with the audit. People with permission to approve exceptions can use it. Recording an override does not republish the draft. The publish itself happens in the agent that produced the draft.

Ask a Question in Slack

@Agenteous what does Brand Guard check?

Mentioning @Agenteous gets a conversational answer about how Brand Guard works. It does not score a pasted draft. To check a draft, use New Audit in the app.
