Messages are an excellent tool for keeping your team informed and engaged. You can now schedule Messages to be posted at a specific date and time for maximum impact on your team.
Here is how to schedule a message:
1. Create Your Message
- Access the Message Tab: Click into the Message tab on your Board.
- Start a New Post: Tap on the Post a Message button.
- Draft Your Message:
- Add a Subject (Optional).
- Write the Message Body.
2. Attach Content (If Needed)
You can attach content from the Board you are currently posting on.
- Important Note on attachments: If you wish to attach content, it must already be on the board before you start drafting your message. You can only attach content from the same board you are posting the Message to.
- If Content is Missing: If you realize you need to add content that isn't on the board yet, simply X out of your Message, add the content to the board, and then start creating your Message post over again.
3. Schedule Your Post
Once your message and attachments are ready, you can choose when to send it:
- To Post Immediately: Tap the "Post" button.
- To Schedule for Later:
- Click on "Set Time" or "Set the time" (depending on the interface).
- You must select both a Date and Time for the Message to be posted.
- Your Message will be posted according to your local time zone.
4. Manage Scheduled Messages
You can easily manage your Messages after they have been scheduled:
- View Scheduled Messages: You can view all your scheduled posts within the same Message tab. You will see an indication that the post is scheduled, along with the time it is set to go out.
- Edit or Cancel:
- Tap on the three-dot menu (…) next to your scheduled message.
From this menu, you can edit the message content, change the scheduled time, or cancel the post completely.
