What are the key features and limitations of announcements in Nowsta?

Nowsta allows you to send announcements to all workers or selected workers directly from the Workers tab. These announcements are not tied to a specific event and can be sent through mobile notifications (SMS/push) or email.

Use announcements to share company-wide updates, reminders, or other important information with your staff.

How to Send an Announcement

  1. Go to the Workers tab in Nowsta.

  2. Select the workers you want to receive the announcement. To select everyone, click the checkbox at the top of the list.

  3. Click Send Announcement.

  4. Choose your preferred delivery method and enter your message.

  5. Review your message and send it.

Alternative Method

Sending longer announcements by email

Mobile announcements sent through SMS or push notifications are limited to 450 characters. If your message is longer, we recommend using email.

Troubleshooting

If you need to share a document, image, or other attachment, use a file-sharing service such as Google Drive or Dropbox and include the shareable link in your announcement.

Important Notes

  • Character limit: Mobile announcements (SMS/push) are limited to 450 characters.

  • Email: Recommended for longer announcements.

  • Attachments: You cannot attach files directly to announcements.

  • External links: Make sure shared files have the appropriate access permissions so recipients can open them.

Summary

Go to Workers, select the intended recipients, and click Send Announcement. Use SMS/push for short messages and email for longer announcements. To share files, include a link from a file-sharing service.
