Broadcast Communications for IT Services

Broadcast Communications for IT Services

Keep customers and internal teams informed during major incidents and planned changes. From an incident or change request, send one broadcast across email, in-app, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, draft it with AI, and track updates on the Communications tab.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with Agentforce IT Service.

Coordinate your incident and change communications with these key capabilities.

  • Omnichannel delivery: Reach everyone in one action through email, in-app, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, instead of posting the same update to each channel separately.
  • AI-drafted messages: Draft a clear, user-friendly update with AI, and review it before you send.
  • Targeted recipients: Notify the accounts and contacts that an incident or change request affects, and add specific users, groups, or queues when you need to.
  • Message history: Review every broadcast sent for a record—with its channel, recipients, subject, and message—on the Communications tab, and filter the history by channel.
  • Prerequisites for Broadcast Communications
    Before you set up Broadcast Communications, make sure your org has the required add-ons, permission set license, and platform features. Notifications delivers every broadcast; Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Agentforce are needed only for the channels and features you use.
  • Set Up Broadcast Communications
    Turn on Broadcast Communications from a guided setup, choose the channels your team can broadcast on, and enable broadcasts for incidents and change requests.
  • Send a Broadcast Communication from an Incident or Change Request
    Send a broadcast communication directly from an incident or change request. Choose the channels to send on, add a message for each one, and send them together in a single broadcast.
