The form for a new Company Announcement in Salesforce

When flair publishes the announcement, employees receive notifications through every enabled channel: email, mobile push, web push, and Slack. No additional announcement-level setup is required.

Pin an announcement​

Pinned announcements appear first in reverse chronological order, followed by non-pinned announcements. This order applies to the Salesforce Last Updates widget and the Employee Hub Announcements page.

  1. In Salesforce, open the announcement record.
  2. Select Pinned.
  3. Click Save. The announcement moves to the pinned group.
tip

Pin time-sensitive communications, such as policy changes, office closures, or critical reminders.

Require acknowledgment​

  1. On the announcement record, enable Require Acknowledgement.
  2. Click Save. Employees see an acknowledgment prompt in the Employee Hub.
  3. On the announcement record, use the acknowledgment related list to track responses.

Attach files​

  1. In Salesforce, open the announcement record.
  2. In the Attachments related list, add the documents, PDFs, or images.
  3. Click Save. Employees can download the files from the Latest Updates card and People → Announcements.

Target an Employee Segment​

Use an Employee Segment to include employees by department, location, role, or another configured condition. Employees outside the segment do not see the announcement.

Target managers​

The Is Manager condition includes anyone who meets either criterion:

  • The employee is the direct manager of at least one other employee.
  • The employee is an active additional manager with the HR Manager responsibility.
  1. In Salesforce, create or edit a Company Announcement.
  2. In the Employee Segment configuration, add Is Manager = Yes.
  3. Optional: Add another condition, such as location, department, team, or entity.
  4. Click Save. Only employees who match all segment conditions receive the announcement.

To exclude managers, set Is Manager = No.

tip

Combine Is Manager = Yes with Location = Berlin to target managers based in Berlin.
