You've heard it before — cancel the meeting, start a thread. But it can be a hassle to re-create the same thread over and over again to collect updates from your team. Now you really can cancel the meeting and start a recurring thread. In two minutes or less.
Eager to jump in? Start your first recurring thread by clicking HERE. ✨
🗓️ Getting Started
🔂 Here are the tactical steps:
- Click Start a thread on the left-side of Threads
- Add in where you're posting the thread, and write your thread
- Click the drop-down at the bottom right side of the thread, next to the 'post' button:
- Select Recurring Threads
- Set when you want to post the thread, and when you want it to repeat
A copy of the thread will be automatically posted at the day and time you select. You'll be able to view your recurring threads from Sent.
