How to create a communication template?

What exactly is a communication template used for?

A communication template can be shared by a super admin (main administrator of the Mission Center) with other administrators. All these local administrators need to do is transform the template into a communication, manage the options (push notification, like, comment, etc.) and send!

By using communication templates, you can help your local administrators in their roles as facilitators of the Wall, and ensure that the messages sent to learners are consistent, adapted to the promise of your application and to your company's culture.

Reminder: You can only create a communication template from a "super admin" account.
