Send an announcement in Chat (Beta)

Workstream US app for Managers — Send announcements to all staff, specific locations, or groups to keep everyone updated.

As long as you're a manager or admin, you can send announcements in any of the following chats:

  • Announcements – Automatically created by Workstream. Includes all hired team members across all locations. Use this to reach everyone.

  • General – One per location. Automatically includes all hired team members at that location.

  • Custom group chats – Custom chats created by managers or admins for smaller teams or specific use cases.
    ​


Here's how to make an announcement:

  1. Open the Workstream US app.

  2. Tap the Chat tab in the bottom tab bar. (On the web, select Chat in the left menu.)

  3. Open the chat where you want to post the announcement (Announcements, General, or a custom group chat).

  4. Tap the ⊕ plus icon, then Announcement.

    Note: The Announcement option appears if you're company staff or the owner of the chat. It isn't available in direct messages or inside a thread.

  5. Type your announcement in the text box.

  6. (Optional) Use formatting options to bold text or add bullet points.

  7. Tap Publish to post the announcement.
