- Add Workplace Groups to add all current group members
- Add by Workplace Profile Location

- Workplace Notification
- All Channels
- Click Send Message and confirm.
- You can now track the progress of this message and manage responses. You can send multiple messages per incident.
The response status will be updated in real-time based on a person's most recent response. Follow-up action is at the discretion of your organization.
Note: System-generated Safety Center message content will be translated into the language of the user's Workplace account, but custom content written by the Safety Operator will not.
