Shoutouts are what make Nectar so sweet! They’re a fun and meaningful way to recognize your teammates and celebrate company values. Each shoutout appears on your company’s homepage and includes a sender, a recipient, and a Core Value.
What are the requirements to send a shoutout?
To send a shoutout, you must:
Tag at least one person
Include at least one Core Value
Points are optional, but encouraged! Your monthly giveable points expire at the end of each month, so be sure to give as much as you can!
How do I create a shoutout?
You can write a shoutout manually using:
@usernameto mention the recipient#CoreValueto tag a value+pointsto award points
Or, you can use the buttons in the Shoutout box:
Select recipients from the People list
Choose one or more Core Values with the Values button
Add points (optional)
Enhance your shoutout with emojis, badges, images, or GIFs too
Tip: Use the checkboxes at the bottom of the shoutout composer to review what you’ve included before posting.
What can I do after posting a shoutout?
