Release Goal: Improve Engagement

Our aim with this update is simple: to make engagement skyrocket! By empowering managers to create battles, we're creating opportunities for enhanced collaboration, motivation, and performance across the board.

Use admin‑created Battles to:

  • Spark healthy competition and productivity

  • Give middle and low performers a fun way to shine

  • Support onboarding by engaging new users early

How to create a Battle as an admin

  1. Open Battles management

    • Go to Battles.

    • Click New Battle in the top‑right corner.

  2. Select the opponents

    • Choose Create for other.

    • Choose the two users who will compete against each other.

  3. Choose the metric

    • Select the metric they will battle on (for example, Sales, Premium, Meetings).

  4. Set the time period

    • Define the start and end date/time of the Battle.

  5. Configure visibility (optional)

    • Decide if the Battle is Public (announced on Feed/TV) or Private.

  6. Save and start

    • Once saved, the Battle will start automatically at the scheduled time.

Common questions

Do opponents need to accept the Battle first?
No. The Battle will start automatically at the date/time you set. There is no acceptance step for the participants.

Why can’t I find a user in the opponent dropdown?
There are two possible reasons:

  1. The user has disabled Battles on their profile, meaning they have fully opted out and cannot be added—even by an admin.

  2. The user already has 3 ongoing Battles, which is the maximum allowed at one time.

Will the Battle be announced?
Yes, the Battle will be announced as usual unless it is set to Private.
Note: Battles are announced when they start. There is no draft mode for Battles like there is for Competitions.

We're incredibly excited to see how this update transforms engagement within your teams. As always, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Let the battles begin! 🚀
