Send bulk messages directly from Slack¶
Write, preview, save and send from Employee Reminders’ Home tab in Slack. You do not need the portal to send a bulk message.
Compose¶
- Open Employee Reminders → Home → New message.
- Enter an Internal title. Recipients receive the message body, not this title.
- Choose a saved audience, Just me, or Choose people below. The direct picker supports up to 100 people, subject to your plan’s recipient limit.
- Write a message of up to 2,900 characters. Use the portal for longer messages or rich editing.
- Optionally add Acknowledgment button text.
Saved audiences belong to you and your workspace. The menu shows up to 98 saved audiences. Selected people are checked against the workspace directory; if someone is not synced, refresh the directory from the portal’s Audiences page and try again.
Preview, review or save¶
- Send a preview to me queues a DM to you and opens the review screen. Check the preview before selecting Send.
- Review and send shows the message and recipient count. Send queues delivery immediately.
- Save draft for later stores a draft you can reopen in the portal.
Directly selected people become a saved audience for that message. Workspace sender permissions and recipient and monthly plan limits apply to Slack sends just as they do to portal sends.
After sending¶
Open Sent & responses in the portal to inspect delivery, acknowledgments and follow-ups. Slack Home shows your five most recently updated messages.
Preview and bulk delivery run through the background worker. A queued message can take a short time to arrive. Queued or delivered messages cannot be recalled through the app.
