Announcements are a great way to communicate upcoming team-building activities, new policy updates, celebrate work anniversaries, share project milestones, remind about upcoming deadlines, and recognize outstanding achievements within your team. Your announcements can include images, videos, documents like training materials, or resources such as guides for new software tools.
How to post an announcement
From the left menu, select Home.
Click Create an announcement.
Enter your title.
Tip: Mention someone using an @ tag, click the style icons below the text box to format your shoutout, hyperlink text, and add emojis.
You can enrich your announcements by attaching multimedia files such as videos, documents, presentations, and images.
Utilize various filters to control who can view the annoncements, maintaining confidentiality or targeting specific departments or teams (e.g., Product department).
Schedule your announcements to be published at any time in the future using the Schedule option. This feature allows you to plan and set the exact date and time for your announcement to go live, ensuring timely and efficient communication with your team.
Enable comments.
Choose the notification channel: email or in the system notifications.
When you're ready to share your announcement, click Save. It will appear on the Home page and be visible to the selected audience.
