Announcements

What are Announcements?

Announcements provide a way to feature an update on the Home feed.

The announcement appears at the bottom of the Home feed in the app for applicable users.

To configure an announcement, see Create an Announcement.

Create an Announcement

To create an Announcement, please follow the steps below:

  1. In the Admin sidebar, find and select Announcements.
  2. Click + New Announcement.
  3. Enter a Title. This information appears to your app users in bold text at the top of the announcement.
  4. Enter the announcement Text. This is the detailed text shown to app users.
  5. Assign a Trigger. This defines the users who will be shown this announcement. Only one Trigger can be selected per announcement. To create the same announcement for multiple triggers, copy the information to a new announcement and set applicable triggers.
  6. Optionally, define a Button Target. If added, this creates an actionable button on the announcement message where users can tap to go directly to the event or page.
  7. Click Create Announcement.

Only one announcement can be shown to any particular user at a time. To allow an alternate announcement to be shown, either clear the trigger value or delete the old announcement. Create a new announcement as necessary.
