Announce a company event

Event announcements are announcements with a date, time and location attached. Employees see the event details in a highlighted line above the message, and can filter their announcements to show only events.

Before you start

• You need the engage.manage permission.

Steps

1. Go to Engage → Announcements ( open Announcements) and click New announcement.
2. Enter the Title, e.g. "Diwali celebration".
3. Under Category, choose Event. Three extra fields appear.
4. Set Event starts (date and time).
5. Optionally set Event ends.
6. Enter the Location, e.g. "Cafeteria, 3rd floor".
7. Choose a Tone — Celebration works well for festivals and parties.
8. Write the Message, choose the Audience and click Publish.

Finding events later

On both the admin and employee Announcements pages, set the Type filter to Event to see only event announcements. You can also filter by date range or search for the venue.
