Marketing Social sends little to Slack. Most of what you follow is state in the app: a draft waiting for you, a post scheduled, a post published. Here is what you can expect.
Draft Waiting for Review
When: A draft is ready for a decision.
What it contains:
- A row on the Social workspace under Awaiting Review, with the opening line, a preview and Approve, Edit and Reject
- Brand Checking flags, shown only when brand checking is set to Enforce or Warn
- The same draft as an item in the Work Queue
Action required: Approve, edit or reject it. Use the Attribution filter (All, Company, Personal) to work through company and personal posts separately.
LinkedIn Draft Card in Slack
When: A draft is written from a meeting recording, and a Slack channel is connected for the draft.
What it contains:
- A LinkedIn Draft header, the brand and attribution, and the opening line used
- The full post text, and an image preview when the post has one
- The buttons Approve, Edit and Reject, with Regenerate Text and an image option in the overflow menu
- On meeting-based cards, a Generate Blog Post button
Action required: Decide on the card or in the app. The buttons disappear once the draft leaves review and a status line takes their place.
Post Scheduled
When: You approve a draft.
What it contains:
- The draft moves to Scheduled on the Social workspace, listed in publishing order
- Its scheduled date and time
Action required: None.
LinkedIn Post Published
When: The scheduler publishes a post.
What it contains:
- A note in the Social channel in Slack, if one is connected, reading LinkedIn Post Published with Company or Personal, and the post text
- A queue line with how many posts remain and the time of the next one
- On the Social workspace, the post under Recently Published with a view on LinkedIn link
Action required: None. The Slack note is best effort: if Slack is unavailable the post is still published.
Post Blocked or Failed
When: At publish time, brand checking in Enforce mode rejects the post (blocked), or the post cannot be sent to LinkedIn, for example because the company page or staff account is not set up for the brand (failed).
What it contains:
- The post's status on its draft page, and for a blocked post the flagged text in the Brand Review panel
- For a blocked post, a Blocked At Publish notice from Brand Guard in the Social channel in Slack, if one is connected (see Brand Guard notifications)
- A failed post is reported for follow-up on the platform side; you are not sent a message
Action required: A blocked or failed post has no approve or publish buttons in the app. For a failed post, ask your administrator to check the brand's LinkedIn setup under Brand Channels in the Operator Console (see Brand Channels) first, then click Restore to Draft on the draft page. The post returns to draft, where you can edit it and approve it again; the brand check runs again when it publishes.
