Boost your organic posts and amplify their performance to ensure maximum engagement.

Sprinklr allows you to boost the organic content you post using your Ad account. Boosting a post lets you amplify the top-performing organic posts using a simple, intuitive workflow and reach out to the targeted audiences ensuring maximum engagement. Once you have boosted an organic post, it is considered a sponsored post.

Enablement note:

You can restrict access to the Boost Post action using the Boost role permission within the Engagement roles. Note that if you already have the Reply permission within Engagement roles, you will be assigned the new permission by default.
