I’m looking for a way to push notifications to employees for things like marketing updates, training materials, or other internal announcements. Ideally, I’d like these notifications to appear directly on a dashboard, something like the Start Page dashboard, for example.
Has anyone implemented something like this or found a way to surface internal messages within the platform?
Thank you!
I see there is an Announcements dashboard card type. It appears to show content builder topics. I also see a Dashboard Announcements application that has Effective Date and Through Dates on them. These might work together but I’m not super familiar with it–might be worth exploring further.
I know there’s support for custom notifications through the messaging framework. Is this something you would be interested in? I’m not entirely sure how this would hook into marketing updates, training materials, etc. But the idea would be you queue a message with a custom payload (message) and send to a specific user (configured via a Directory lookup).
@blake.Powers yes! I would be interested. Who would I talk to about that?
@matt are you aware of any documentation on the Dashboard Announcements application? I haven’t been able to find anything in NW Help so I can figure out how to use it properly.
I looked for some but didn’t find any. I’ll reach out to the object owner of the application to see if they can provide more guidance.
For visibility, this would be creating a new message configuration in Message Definitions, giving it a type of Notification, then properly filling out the “Send To” section and your message template. Then, queue the message event via something like a logic block “Queue Event”.
@bethany.k i’ll reach out to you directly.
