How Members React
Once you have published an announcement, members can react using the emojis you’ve configured. Here’s how it works:
Each member can select one emoji per announcement. If they choose a different emoji, it will replace their previous reaction.
Clicking the same emoji again will remove their reaction.
Viewing Reactions
As an admin, you can see a summary of reactions for each sent announcement directly in the announcements list. This summary helps you understand how your members are responding to your content.
Reactions will also appear in the SpotlightModal and on the notifications page, allowing members to see how others are reacting.
Best Practices
Tip: Regularly check the reaction summaries to gauge member sentiment. This insight can inform your future announcements and content strategies.
