PeopleGoal Notifications

Every time an employee is required to take action on a PeopleGoal item e.g. provide feedback, update a goal, start an engagement survey or start a review they will be notified in Slack. Our notification system will help everyone to stay on top of their performance and engagement activities.

Slack commands

The PeopleGoal App for Slack comes with a set of commands that allows you to access your active PeopleGoal items, create new items and access your teams and apps. The main action commands are:

• list items
• list teams
• list apps
• create new 'item name'

List items

This command lists an employees active items e.g. goals, feedback pending, active reviews. Once the active items are listed the following options are availiable:

• Mark as done: The item can be marked as complete
