How do I send Joyous conversations with Meta Workplace?

Many organizations are moving towards more cohesive internal communication strategies, where employees expect important business communication to come through official platforms such as Meta Workplace.

Your Joyous campaigns can reach employees where they already spend their time by sending conversations and notifications via Workplace chats with our notification app.

The Joyous Workplace app is a chat bot that can:

  • Send chat messages to Workplace users with links to Joyous conversations or notifications.

The Joyous Workplace app receives minimal permissions to operate and has no broader access to your Workplace environment. For more information see the appendix on permissions at the bottom of this page.

Prerequisites

The People Data you send to Joyous must include an identifier that allows us to match your people in the Joyous platform to the correct Workplace user. There are 2 options:

You can find the Meta User IDs and Workplace email addresses for your people in Admin Panel > People > ... > Export employee information
