[PLAYBOARD] [BOOSTS] How to create Boost via Empathy Play API
Boost is a very handy tool that enables us to modify the position of one or several products on the result list. You can simply choose a product or keyword to improve its position within the results grid. It’s a very useful method to highlight or promote certain products.

You can access boosts in the sidebar of the dashboard.
To create a boost, you click on the New button and a form will appear. You then need to select:
- Language or languages where the boost will be applied.
- Products you want to boost.
- Keywords used to boost the products.
- Scope for the boost, desktop, mobile, etc.
- Enabled: enable or disable the boost.
- From date/to date: the dates when the boost will be active.
