Share an update

  1. Step 1: Open Announcements and use the new announcement control when your role allows it.
  2. Step 2: Write a clear title and message. Choose the whole workplace or the permitted locations that need the update.
  3. Step 3: Add a poll if you need responses, or pin the message when staff will need to refer to it regularly.
  4. Step 4: Publish the announcement and check it in the feed. Edit it if the details change, or archive it when it is no longer current.

How notifications work

A new announcement can send a title preview to eligible staff who have enabled announcement notifications and device push. The author does not receive their own new-announcement push.

Editing, pinning, archiving and poll activity do not send another new-announcement push. Use a new, relevant update if staff need a fresh message about a material change.

Check the audience

Select the right locations before posting. Announcements are not a substitute for publishing a changed rota or approving a shift request, and a push notification does not confirm that everyone has read the message.
