Announcements
Read announcements from your managers on Home, sign the ones that ask you to, and choose whether they also come by email.
Where announcements show
Managers post announcements in a channel you’re in. While there’s one for you, Home starts with the Announcements card, From your managers. It shows up to two: ones waiting for you to sign first, then pinned ones, then the newest.
- Tap an announcement to read all of it.
- Tap All announcements → to see every current one. The same list opens from the Announcements row at the top of Messages.
- Announcements also stay in their channel, where up to three can be pinned at the top.
- An announcement with an end date leaves Home after that day, but stays in its channel.
Sign an announcement
Some announcements ask everyone to sign, to show you’ve read them. They say Please sign to show you’ve read this.
- Tap the announcement on Home or in the list.
- Read it, then tap Sign.
Signing is one tap and can’t be undone. Afterward the announcement shows Signed and the time. Managers can see who has signed so they know it reached everyone.
Please sign again
If a manager changes an announcement and asks everyone to sign again, it goes back to unsigned and says Updated with the date and Please sign again. Sign it the same way.
Small changes don’t ask you to sign again. The announcement just shows Edited.
Reminders and nudges
If you haven’t signed yet, you may get a reminder that says Please sign: and the title.
- A manager can choose an automatic reminder when they post, like a day later.
- A manager can also send a nudge to everyone who hasn’t signed, at most once every 12 hours.
- Reminders and nudges come to the bell, and by email unless you turned announcement email off.
Announcement email
Every announcement shows in the bell, and also comes by email unless you turn it off.
- Open Settings and find the Email me about card under Notifications.
- Turn Email on or off for Announcements. It saves right away.
Announcement email waits during your organization’s quiet hours. An announcement marked Urgent comes right away, even during quiet hours, but never if you turned announcement email off.
