Send an announcement in Chat (Beta)

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

Updated this week

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 (Location) – 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. Go to the Chat page. Your app layout may look different because your organization might have different features enabled. Follow the instructions that match what you see:

    • If your app uses a sidebar menu

      1. Tap the ≡ menu icon in the upper-left corner.

      2. Select Chat.

    • If your app has a bottom navigation bar

      1. Tap the Chat icon (💬) at the bottom of the screen.

  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.

  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.
