Overview
Use our chat message templates to engage your users throughout your challenge.
Chat is a great tool to keep your participants motivated throughout a challenge and build community! Admins can use chat to connect directly with users to share reminders, prompt engagement, and motivate everyone to keep stepping.
Click here for guidance on how to post in chat from the Admin Center, or click here for information on how to post in chat from the user app.
Note that there is no distinction from a regular user and an admin in chat if you post from the user app. You must post from admin chat if you wish for your posts to display as sent from your organization.
For ideas of what to send in chat, you can either use any of our chat templates in admin chat, or use our suggested messages below. Most of these chat messages can be used in any challenge, so we recommend picking and choosing your favorites. Try to post one or two chat prompts for each week of your challenge.
Let's add some talking to our walking! π¬
