Shoutouts Day

"Shoutouts Day" allows you to configure a series of reminder messages to drive increased participation in the sharing of positive kudos and feedback with your team on a given day.

How to Setup a "Shoutout Day"

On the Slack App or the MS Teams App go to the Shoutouts Feature Area, and click the "Enable/Disable Shoutouts Day" Button.

Once here, you'll click the "turn on shoutout day" option. After you do this, simply choose a channel, day of week, and time of day to send you initial "kickoff" message.

The final step in setting up a proper shoutout day is editing the time and message that gets sent both midday as well as right before the day is over. These two message will ensure you get as much participation as possible from the entire team.

What "Shoutouts Day" Looks Like

1. When Shoutout Day Starts

The first message that will appear in Slack (fully customizable by the way) will look something like:

2. Shoutouts Start Coming...

Next, shoutouts should start rolling in. They'll look something like the below...

3. Middle of Shoutout Day Reminder

You'll have a special reminder in the middle of the work day to keep those shoutouts rolling.

4. End of Shoutout Day Alert

Lastly, some short period of time before the formal shoutout day is over, you'll want to send a final reminder for the team to share more feedback if they haven't done so already.
