Sending a Broadcast Post 📢
We all love giving our teammates control over their inbox, right? By default, your employees are the captains of their notification destiny—they choose if they want instant emails, daily recaps, or total peace and quiet.
But let's be honest, sometimes you have news that's so important it needs to cut through the noise. We're talking urgent, required, or must-read information. For those moments, you need a Broadcast Post.
Think of this as your internal corporate megaphone. It bypasses those personal notification settings to deliver the news instantly via email and/or mobile push.
🚨 A Friendly Word of Caution: With great power comes great responsibility. Please reserve broadcasts for only the most genuinely urgent and important news.
