It's almost Christmas, and you bought spiral hams for your off-site employees. You need an easy way to tell them to pick them up at your office. It's not a problem with our messaging system from the admin site or supervisor mobile app.

Your user account must have mobile access to send messages from the desktop. If you're not set up for mobile access, you can't send messages through the app or desktop.

The image below shows a user (Joe) who has access to the admin site (desktop) but no mobile access. Joe will not be able to send messages to his employees through the app or desktop.

With the click of a button, send a one-way announcement to the whole company. Then, set it as Required, and your employees must read it before clocking in or out. 

Field supervisors can also have conversations with specific employees with two-way messaging.

Check out this quick video that explains more.

*On some phones, if you are trying to reply to a message, the keyboard will pop up and block the text box, and you can't see what you're typing. Just swipe up, and it pulls the message box above the keyboard. Easy!

You should have an envelope icon at the top right of your account screen.

Click the envelope and the messaging feature opens. The screens and the steps on the desktop are identical to what the video showed for the mobile app.
