Overview

Moveworks’ Employee Comms enables organizations to broadcast custom messages to all or a subset of users in your organization, via the Moveworks Copilot.

This allows administrators to alert users of important announcements such as new policies, software migrations, and changes to benefits. Employee Comms let you reach the right users with the right message, by letting you select which users will receive your curated message. The Moveworks Copilot can also tailor messages with information that is uniquely relevant to each employee, based on their location, employment status, department, etc. This ensures users are more likely to read messages from their organization and take immediate action.

(New!) Setting up campaigns for the New hires

Note: Please follow the instructions provided above to create your first campaign and set up the campaign body. After completing these steps, follow the instructions below to schedule the new hire campaigns for your audience.

By selecting New hires, you can choose only new employees who have been with your organization for up to 60 days or less as the audience for your campaign. You can configure the amount of days a new hire has to have completed to receive this message by clicking on the dropdown next to New hire completing. New hires will receive the message on the next day of completing the specified number of days in your organisation e.g: If the selected audience is new hires completing 4 days then they will receive the message on their 5th day. You can also further specify the audience to only consist of new employees from a specific department, location, etc., by clicking on Advanced filters.

How are new employees detected?

We will ingest the start date of the employees from your database into our identity system and map it to the field employee_start_date_ts, which is a part of our user roster and calculate the number of days they have spent in your organization. We can map any date field from these source systems to this attribute.

For example, if employee X has joined on the 29th of September 2023 and this information is present in systems such as Okta, Active Directory, ServiceNow etc., we will map this start date to employee_start_date_ts.

(New!) Set up Recurring Campaigns

Recurring Campaigns lets you communicate information that needs to be broadcasted periodically to all users or certain subsets of users (e.g. new hires). This could be helpful for notifying users of tasks or events that occur on a regular cadence.

Recurring campaigns can be scheduled to occur daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. After you set a start date for the campaign, you have the option to pick an end date or set it as an infinite campaign, which means there’s no end date and the campaign message will be sent continuously at the chosen cadence. For example, if you create a weekly recurring campaign that is an infinite campaign, the campaign message will be sent weekly to the selected users continuously until the campaign is manually ended.

Note: You cannot schedule a recurring campaign to start the same day. Please schedule your recurring campaigns at least a day ahead of when you want the campaign to start, as they cannot be configured to begin the day of.

Recurring campaigns can be configured to be sent only on weekdays so as to respect the personal time of users. You can choose to send the message based on the user time zone to ensure that users are not disturbed outside of working hours.

Note: You cannot have a campaign message within a recurring campaign be sent out at a different time or date from the rest of the scheduled messages. You also cannot cancel a specific message in a recurring campaign run. For example, if you have a weekly recurring campaign that runs for four weeks, you cannot cancel week 3’s message.

Both methods will work across chat platforms (Slack, MS Teams, Google Hangouts, or Webex Teams). Be sure to preview your message in the Moveworks Copilot to confirm if your message looks as expected.
