  • To send a shoutout, first navigate to the Nectar Home page by clicking "Home" on the left hand side of the Nectar page.

  • Then, click into the shoutout box at the top of the page to begin your message. You'll need to choose a recipient(s), amount of points, and a company value. Let's walk through these together.

  • You can click on the "People" button to see a list of people to shoutout,

  • or find them by typing @ and then their name.

  • You can include multiple people in the same shoutout.

  • Then click the "Points" button to select a point value. If you'd like to give away an amount of points not listed, simply type + and then the point value (for example +23).

  • If you have multiple people in your shoutout, they will each receive the number of points you select. In our example here, each person will receive 5 points to their "Points to Redeem". Our "Points to give" will go down by 10 (5 points for each person).

  • Then type out a custom message.

  • And finish by adding a company value. You can click on the "Values" button, or type # to see a list of your company values.

  • You can choose to add emojis, gifs, or images by using the icons along the bottom.

  • After your message looks good, hit the "Send Points" button to award points!

  • It should show up in your social feed right after!

  • That's it! Check out the video tutorial below if you still have questions:
