Follow the steps below to work with your Company Notifications.
A Company Notification is a message sent by email (or SMS) that is triggered by an event in Wurk, such as a new hire being added to the system, or a Cannabis Badge expiring. Your Administrator (and other authorized users) can edit and create these and configure when and why they trigger, and who they are sent to.
A Company Announcement, by contrast, is a message that can display in Wurk as a popup when the user first logs in (and or as on their dashboard), and is a more general announcement. Unlike Notifications, these are tied to users' Security Profiles. Your Administrator (and other authorized users) can edit and create these and configure who sees these at login and/or on their dashboard. Announcements are often used to ensure that employees get Company Documents.

If you have SMS Integration with Twilio, you can also set whether the message will go out as a text message (for a small extra SMS fee) in the SMS Message area.
Once you select this option, an additional window displays where you set up the text message (example below).
What is SMS Integration with Twilio?
SMS Integration with Twilio is an add-on feature your company may choose to purchase from Wurk. It can help increase the adoption of the WurkMobile app, HCM ToGo, by enabling company announcements and notifications to go out to employees via SMS (text messages). If you wish to add this feature, contact your Wurk Account Manager. Once enabled, Administrators can set whether Company Notifications and Announcements go out as text messages in the SMS Message area (example below).
5. Your new notification will now display in the list of Company Notifications.
