4. Your message will be sent with our factual default style but you can choose from a range of optional themes for more impact, depending on your message: Inform, Alert or Celebrate.

5. Select the date and time when the announcement should be published. For convenience, you can schedule announcements to go live at a future date and time.

7. If everything looks correct, click the 'Send Announcement' button to make the announcement live immediately or at the scheduled time.

How do Recipients Know They Have Been Sent an Announcement?

Depending on your organisation's settings, an email or mobile app notification will also be sent to the intended recipients.

Can Managers see who has Read the Announcement?

From your Inbox you can view users who have read an announcement and those who have not read your message. Any announcement sent is saved and can be accessed later for accurate record-keeping with a read log.
