Use Team Feed on Camelo
Team Feed on Camelo is an ideal place for making announcements, discussing important topics, asking questions, and more.
What is Team Feed?
Team Feed is your central communication hub on Camelo, working just like a news feed on your social media platforms. It’s where your team can share updates, news, and announcements all in one unified timeline, making it easy to stay updated on everything happening in your workplace.
With Team Feed, you can:
- Create posts shared to specific teams, locations, projects, or topics
- Upload media and edit posts with the editor toolbar
- Make comments under posts to discuss with team members
- Request acknowledgment from the recipients to notify them of the new post
- React to posts and comments with emojis
How Team Feed is organized
Boards
Think of Boards as specialized groups, similar to Facebook groups. Each Board is dedicated to a specific team, location, project, or topic. Members added to each Board can share ideas, discuss work-based matters, and make decisions together in posts.
Examples of Team Boards:
- Front Of House – for customer service staff
- Workplace Policies – for policy updates and discussions
- Announcements – for important updates and announcements
Public or private Boards
Boards on Camelo can be public or private.
- Public boards are accessible to anyone in the workplace. They’re the perfect place for sending announcements or posting public posts/files.
- Private boards are only accessible to members who have been added to those boards.
Posts within Boards
Each board contains multiple posts – think of them as individual conversation threads focused on that board’s topic. When team members (with Admin and Write roles) create posts within a board, only the board members can see and participate in those discussions in the comment section.
General posts
Sometimes you need to share information that doesn’t fit into any specific board – that’s where General Posts come in. These posts appear directly in the Team Feed and are visible to everyone in your workplace, regardless of which boards they belong to. Each post can have its own comments, so discussions stay organized.
Categories of Posts
Posts in Team Feed can be classified into 4 main categories: Shout Out, Announcements, FYI, or Question. Picking a category is optional.
Team Feed vs Chats: Which one should you use?
You can use Team Feed for announcements or large and permanent discussions, and use Chats for real-time, instant, fast-paced, scattered conversations.
