1. How to Use the News Feed to Keep Everyone Updated
Introduction
The News Feed is the heartbeat of Pebb. Itâs where your team sees updates, celebrates wins, and stays in the loopâwhether theyâre in the office or on the frontline. Think of it as your companyâs private social media feed, but focused on work, culture, and communication.
Posting in the Feed
Who can post? Anyone in your organization. Leaders often use it for announcements, while employees use it to share updates, shoutouts, or ideas.
What can I post? Text, photos, GIFs, videos, or links. Add polls to make posts interactive.
When should I post? Use the feed for updates that should be visible to everyone (policies, wins, event reminders).
Q&A:
Q: How is the feed different from chat?
A: Chat is for quick back-and-forth. The feed is for updates you donât want to get buried.
Q: Can I tag people in a post?
A: Yesâuse @mention to notify them directly.
Q: Can we pin important posts?
A: Yes. Admins can pin posts so they stay visibility right inside the Knowledge Library pinned posts Topic.
Q: What kind of posts drive engagement?
A: Celebrations (birthdays, promotions), company wins, polls, event photos, policy updates, and âday in the lifeâ moments.
Real Example: HR posts about the new parental leave policy. Employees comment below with questions, instead of sending dozens of emails.
2. Creating Group Chats and Clubs for Projects and Teams
Introduction
Pebb gives you two main spaces for collaboration: Chats and Clubs. Both are powerful, but they serve different purposes.
Group Chats
Perfect for fast, focused conversations.
Supports text, files, images, voice notes, and calls.
Great for small teams, task forces, or urgent issues.
Clubs
Clubs are organized spaces for departments, projects, or interests.
Each club has its own feed, files, calendar, events, apps, tasks, and chat.
Theyâre ongoing hubsânot just short conversations.
Q&A:
Q: When should I use a chat vs. a club?
A: Use a chat if youâd normally send a group text. Use a club if you need an ongoing shared space with posts, files, and discussions.
Q: Can I create both?
A: Yesâyou can start a chat for day-to-day chatter and a club for the bigger picture.
Q: Can clubs be private?
A: Yes. Clubs can be open (anyone can join) or private (invite-only).
Q: Can I share files in clubs?
A: Absolutelyâfiles uploaded to clubs stay organized and easy to find later.
Real Example: The marketing team creates a âProduct Launch 2025â club. It has a pinned timeline, design files in the Knowledge Library, and a feed where team members post campaign updates. At the same time, they keep a smaller group chat for urgent daily check-ins.
3. Using Pebb for Recognition and Celebrations
Introduction
Culture thrives on recognition. With Pebb, itâs easy to celebrate employees in a way thatâs public, authentic, and engaging.
Celebrations on the Feed
Post a shoutout with a photo or GIF.
Tag teammates to highlight their work.
Encourage others to add comments and reactions.
Automated Reminders
Birthdays and anniversaries can be highlighted so no one forgets.
Teams can create a tradition of posting âweekly winsâ every Friday.
Q&A:
Q: Can we make celebrations feel fun, not corporate?
A: Yes. Add photos, inside jokes, or a funny GIFâPebbâs reactions make it social.
Q: What if I donât know when birthdays are?
A: Profiles can include birthdays and work anniversaries. Admins can also post reminders.
Q: Can recognition posts be private?
A: By default, theyâre public in the feed, but you can always send a private message or create a small club for team-only celebrations.
Q: How does recognition impact engagement?
A: McKinsey research shows recognition is one of the top drivers of employee motivation. A simple public post can have outsized impact.
Real Example: A branch manager posts: âHuge shoutout to Maria for handling last weekâs rush with a smile. Couldnât have done it without you!â The post gets 50 likes and a thread of thank-you commentsâlifting morale across the team.
