Team announcements

Tell the team once, and see who has read it

Write an announcement, choose everyone, a venue or chosen people, check who it will reach, and send. Your team reads it in RotaFox, and you can see who has read it.

A sent announcement in RotaFox with read receipts: how many people it went to, who has read it and when, and who hasn’t read it yet.

How it works

  1. Write it

    A title and a message, with an optional button such as “View my rota”.

  2. Choose who gets it

    Everyone, everyone at a venue, or people you pick by name. Nobody gets it twice.

  3. Check, then send

    See exactly who it will reach, and who hasn’t joined yet, before it goes.

  4. See who has read it

    Read receipts show who has opened it and who hasn’t.

Hard to miss on their phone

A new announcement shows at the top of each person’s own week in RotaFox until they’ve read it, and stays in their announcements to look back on. It works in the browser on any phone.

Check before you send

Before anything goes out, you see who it will reach. People who haven’t accepted their invitation yet are listed separately, so you know who won’t see it.

  • Everyone in the business
  • Everyone at a venue
  • Chosen people
  • An optional button to a page
