Why are campaigns called posts?

In Spoks, campaigns are called posts because they are designed as flexible pieces of content, not one-off email blasts.

A post is a single piece of content that can be sent as:

  • Email

  • SMS

  • A shareable web link on your own domain
    ​

You create the content once and choose how to deliver it.

Posts vs traditional campaigns

Traditional campaigns are usually:

  • Email-only, or with SMS bolted on as an afterthought

  • One-time sends

  • Disconnected from other channels
    ​

Posts are:

  • Channel-agnostic

  • Reusable in structure

  • Designed for email, SMS, and web distribution
    ​

This makes posts better suited for ongoing customer communication rather than isolated sends.

Posts in flows

Posts are also used inside flows, but they are created directly in the flow builder.

Each step in a flow contains its own post, with its own content and recipient filter. Posts created in flows are not shared or referenced elsewhere - they live inside the flow step.

The idea behind the name

The term post reflects a more modern way of thinking about customer communication:

  • Content first

  • Channels second
    ​

Once you start thinking in posts instead of campaigns, flows and one-off sends follow the same logic and feel consistent across Spoks.
