Which notifications are sent?
Reviews & Check-ins notifies you when something needs your attention in a conversation or a check-in. Notifications are sent by email, in Slack, in Microsoft Teams and as push notifications from the Simployer mobile app.
| Notification | Who gets it | Slack and Teams | Mobile push | |
| Conversation created | The employee, when a manager invites them to a conversation | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Responses submitted | The participant who has not submitted yet, when the other has | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Responses shared | The participant who submitted first, when both have submitted | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Conversation closed | The employee, when the manager closes the conversation | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Conversation re-opened | The employee, when the manager re-opens the conversation | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| New conversations to review | Managers, when an administrator has created conversations for them | Yes | Yes | No |
| Conversation access requested | The employee, when someone asks for access to their conversation | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Conversation access approved | The person who asked for access | Yes | Yes | No |
| Peer feedback requested | The colleague who is asked for feedback | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Check-in note posted | The other participant, when notes are filed or a filed note is updated in a check-in | Yes | Yes | Yes |
How do notifications work in Slack and Microsoft Teams?
In Slack and Microsoft Teams, the notifications arrive in Sia. Each notification has a button that takes you to the right place in Simployer, for example Open conversation, Give feedback or Open check-in.
For four of the notifications you can also reply directly to the message, and Sia helps you from there:
- Conversation created and Responses submitted — Sia helps you draft your answers.
- New conversations to review — Sia helps you prepare any of the conversations.
- Peer feedback requested — Sia guides you through the feedback.
How do push notifications work in the mobile app?
Push notifications are short and general. They do not show names or conversation titles, because they can appear on your lock screen.
Tapping a push notification opens the inbox in the Simployer mobile app, where you find the task it is about. From there you can continue with Sia in the app, or open the conversation in Simployer in your browser.
How do I turn notifications on or off?
- Go to Profile → Notifications.
- Find the notification you want to change.
- Turn it on or off for each channel: Email, Slack, Teams and Push.
All notifications are on by default, and each channel is set separately. New conversations to review is only shown to managers.
Note: To get notifications in Slack or Microsoft Teams, your organisation must use Sia there. To get push notifications, you need the Simployer mobile app with notifications allowed on your phone.
