Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
Should a company-wide announcement require acknowledgment?
Only if there is a real obligation attached. Requiring acknowledgment on routine news trains people to click through without reading, which devalues it for the policy and safety posts where the record actually matters.
How long should it be?
Short enough to read on a phone between tasks. In our analysis of 35,000 real internal posts, "too long" was the single most common improvement flagged — 28.7% of all posts. Lead with what changed and what to do.
Who should this go to?
Narrower than you think. Read rates fall as audience widens: targeted operational sends averaged 25.3% while broad company-wide broadcasts averaged 9.6%. Send to everyone only when it genuinely applies to everyone.
