How do I create a Boarbs post from Slack?

In a connected channel, use /boarbs or the Create Boarbs post message shortcut. That creates a draft. Approve publishes it to the board. Reject discards it.

Does Boarbs import the whole channel?

No. Casual chat, bot messages, and notification-thread replies are not imported as posts.

Which board does a Slack post land on?

A board-specific channel posts to that board. The organization default channel uses the oldest public board.

What happens after Approve?

The draft becomes a public board post. The usual public-post Slack notification still goes out.

Is comment sync included?

Two-way comment sync is unchanged. The draft flow is only for creating posts from Slack.

The problem

The best requests are buried in last Tuesday’s channel

A customer quote in #sales never becomes a post. A feature idea in #product gets emoji and then disappears. Search is not a backlog.

Pins and emoji are not votes

Slack reactions feel like demand. They are not a ranked list customers can join later. You need a post on the board.

Importing every message would be a disaster

A bot that vacuums a channel creates spam posts. Capture should be explicit, with a human approve step.

One workspace, many boards

A board-specific channel should post to that board. A default channel should have a predictable fallback.

How Boarbs solves it

Draft first. Approve to publish.

In a connected Slack channel, /boarbs or Create Boarbs post creates a draft from the Slack user. The channel gets Approve and Reject. Only Approve publishes. After publish, the usual public-post Slack notification still goes out.

Approve and Reject on the draft

Casual chat stays in Slack. Only an approved draft becomes a board post. Rejected drafts cannot be approved later.

Channel per board, plus a default

Board-specific channels post to that board. The organization default channel uses the oldest public board.

Posted as the Slack user

The post is created from the Slack user, as a draft until approved. You can see who brought the idea in.

Two-way comment sync stays

Notification-thread replies are not imported as new posts. Existing two-way comment sync is unchanged.

Bots and casual chat stay out

Bot messages and everyday conversation are not vacuumed onto the board. Capture is a deliberate action.

See it

Not a placeholder. A real Boarbs surface.

Slack is where the idea appears. The board is where it gets votes — after someone hits Approve.
