Reach everyone

Announcements & a real internal newsletter

Post an announcement and it’s on every dashboard — optionally blasted to email and chat. For the monthly update, draft a branded HTML newsletter with the same rich editor, route it through an approver, and send or schedule it.

Your brand in the inbox

Accent color, logo, custom header banner, background textures, and email-safe fonts — tuned in a live mini-preview.

Approve before send

Nothing mass-mails your company without a second set of eyes: drafts move draft → review → approved → sent.

Auto-archive

Sent newsletters can file themselves as published documents in a space — your update history, searchable.

Frequently asked

Can announcements reach people outside the app?

Yes — optionally email everyone (or chosen groups) and post to chat webhooks at announce time. The dashboard block remains the source of truth.

Who can send a newsletter?

Only approvers approve, and only approved newsletters send. Contributors draft and hand off — the roles are assigned per user, with per-newsletter reviewer lists when you need them.
