Share a post via Direct Message

Share the post from @thebakeryco about the new croissant with my colleague Mara via Direct Message. Send it to Mara first and add a note: 'Save for Friday promo — can you approve copy by Thursday?' then tell me when Mara has seen it.

Before I send this post to Mara, make the message easy to act on — include the post creator @thebakeryco, the headline 'New croissant — potential Friday promo', surface the top three selling points from the caption, and flag any asset issues that might make Mara pause before approving.

I forwarded a post from @thebakeryco to Mara with a short ask and she hasn't replied. We often miss messages in our group thread. I'm unsure if she saw it or if it landed in a different conversation. What should I check now to determine whether she received and viewed the post, and what is the least intrusive follow-up?

We keep using Direct Messages for approvals and the thread with assets mixes with lunch banter, causing missed deadlines. I run social for a small bakery with three staff. What one structural change to how we share posts and one quick rule for message subject lines will make approvals reliable without adding meetings?
