Robin's Workplace Announcements let admins and managers share real-time updates and policies with employees. You see 2 types of announcements in Robin:
- Standard announcements: these stay in the announcement inbox.
- Priority announcements: these are mandatory. You must acknowledge them before you can make reservations.
This article shows what the 2 types look like in Robin and how to view them, including mobile push notifications.
Priority announcements
A priority announcement opens when you open Robin on the web dashboard or the mobile app, if your office admin posted an announcement you did not acknowledge (provided the user has been onboarded and is logged in).
-
Read the announcement. Then select the acknowledge button, or "Tap and hold" it on mobile, to confirm and dismiss the announcement.
All announcements, standard and acknowledged priority, stay in the announcement inbox until an admin archives them.
Standard announcements (non-priority)
You can view standard announcements in the announcement inbox on the mobile app and the web dashboard. They stay in your inbox until an office admin archives them.
Mobile
From the Schedule tab, select the announcement icon at the top right. Then select an announcement to open it.
Web dashboard
The web dashboard opens on the Schedule page. Robin first asks you to acknowledge any unread priority announcements. Then you see new non-priority announcements highlighted at the top right. Select the announcement icon to open the inbox.
Announcements stay in your inbox until an office admin archives them.
You can also view announcements from the Map tab. Select the Announcement card at the top right, then select an announcement to open it in the right side bar.
Mobile push notifications
When someone creates an announcement for your preferred office, Robin sends you a push notification. Select the notification to open it in the Robin mobile app.
To get push notifications for workplace announcements, you need a preferred office. You can manage your user preferences, including notifications, in your user settings in the mobile app.
