We generally release new features and bug fixes around 3 pm PT, but that time is likely to vary. If you're not yet seeing these updates in your account, treat yourself to a little snack break and check back in a bit.


There are a ton of updates included in this release. Use the quick links below to navigate through the details:


What's New?

  • All-New Analytics Dashboards (Beta). We are so excited to release a brand new set of analytics dashboards to help you track, benchmark, and measure your adoption and engagement. This toolset is built to arm your team with the numbers you need to support all of your strategic communication efforts. Learn more about analytics.

    This toolset is still in beta as we work to tweak and refine the data displayed throughout. So we can build to fit your needs, we'd love to know what you think! Share your ideas, feedback, and wishlists with us at support@haystackteam.com.

  • Celebration Notifications. Starting today, you'll receive notifications when your manager or direct reports—or anyone else you choose!—are celebrating a birthday or work anniversary so you can celebrate their special day! Customize your celebration notifications.
