Posts are a way to share general news and announcements and are not tied to points. Your organization might have guidelines over who has access to create posts. Contact your organization's Cooleaf administrator with questions about user permissions.
Posts can be used for:
- Reminding everyone of an upcoming challenge or event.
- Alerting the company of a new or updated policy.
- Announcing a new Cooleaf discussion group!
- Sharing an important or exciting life update with your colleagues! 🏡🍼💍🐕🎉
Create a Post
1. To create a post, you can either select create a post at the top of the user dashboard under recognize someone, or tap the plus button ➕ at the top right corner of your screen on any Cooleaf page.
Tapping the + button will default to create a recognition. To create a post from here, click on the create post tab at the top of the popup box.
2. In the pop-up box, begin typing your announcement. You can make your post exciting by using the formatting icons in the bottom right corner of the text field. You can also add emojis, photos, and gifs to your post!
3. To complete the post, select a tag from the dropdown by clicking in the add a tag field. This will categorize your post and make it searchable later through the filtering tools on the main feed.
You must add a tag in order to post. Without a tag, the publish button will remain inactive.
4. Determine who should see this post by selecting everyone or team.
To share with a specific team, select team and type the @ symbol. A dropdown will appear with teams in your organization and you can type the name of the team to select.
5. If your organization has Slack, MS Teams, Google Chat, or Facebook Workplace enabled, you'll see an icon at the bottom of your post next to Notify by. This icon means that your recognition will be automatically posted within this communication channel or delivered via email. If you don't want your recognition to show up in that channel, you can click the x to disable.
6. To complete your post, click publish! Now your post will show up on the main feed of the audience you selected.
