“Is there an easier way to alert everyone in Yammer rather than typing everyone’s name under notify additional people?”<\/h4>\n

A new user to Yammer asked me this question, and it’s a great one! It was born out of a conversation about how @mentions can clutter a message, and I had suggested using the “Add people to notify” field to loop people, in the same way that the “cc:” field in an email does.<\/p>\n

The answer to her question hinges on the answers to two additional questions:<\/p>\n

#1 – What do you mean by everyone – everyone in your entire Yammer Network or everyone in your specific Yammer Group?
\n#2 – Are you a general user, a Group Admin, or a Network Admin?<\/p>\n

If by “everyone” you mean you want everyone in the entire Yammer Network<\/strong> to be alerted via an Inbox message, then post your message in the “All Company” group<\/strong>. This option works for any type of user<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"yammer-all-network\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If by “everyone” you mean everyone in the specific Yammer Group<\/strong>, then post an Announcement<\/strong> instead of an Update. This option works for Group Admins only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"2015-07-16<\/a><\/p>\n

Both options are way faster than @mentioning or notifying a slew of people.<\/p>\n

If you’re struggling with using Announcements, here’s a handy blog post about How to Add a Link Preview to a Yammer Announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
