Expensify Chat rooms for admins

When a workspace is created, an #announce and #admins chat room is automatically created.

#announce

All Workspace Members can use this room to share or discover important company announcements and have conversations with other members.

By default, all Workspace Members are allowed to send messages in #announce rooms. However, Workspace Admins can update the permissions to allow only admins to post messages in the #announce room.

  1. Open the #announce room chat in your inbox.
  2. Click the room header.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Who can post and select Admins only.

Only Workspace Admins can access this room to collaborate with the other admins in the workspace. You can also use this space to:

  • Chat with your dedicated Expensify Setup Specialist.
  • Chat with your Account Manager (if you have a subscription with 10 or more members).
  • Review changes made to your Workspace settings (includes changes made by someone on your team, your dedicated Expensify Setup Specialist, or your dedicated Account Manager).
