Yes. Set a publish date so the announcement goes live when you want it to, and an expiry date so it drops off automatically once it is no longer current.
Announcement Management System
Write, target and track workplace announcements in one place, so the right people see the right update, and you can show that they read it.
An announcement management system built for accountable internal communication
Sentrient's announcement management system gives you one place to draft an update, decide who sees it and confirm it landed. Write the summary and content yourself, or let AI draft it for you. Target the message to everyone or to specific roles, then watch views and unique viewers build as staff open it. Every change is recorded, so you always know what was published, by whom and when, without chasing anyone for confirmation.
Most popular announcements
These are the updates our announcement management software handles most often for Australian workplaces:
- Policy updates
- Process changes
- System updates
- Celebrations and events
- Compliance reminders
Reach everyone quickly
Publish an update, and Sentrient puts it in front of the staff straight away. Send an email notification with the announcement, show it as a pop-up the next time someone logs in, or feature it with a banner at the top of the announcement feed. Urgent changes do not sit unread at the bottom of an inbox.
- Email staff as soon as you publish
- Show a pop-up at next login
- Feature the update with a banner image
Create announcements faster
Add a title, pick a category and set the publish and expiry dates, then write your summary and content in the built-in editor. If you would rather start from something, generate the summary and content with AI and edit from there, and generate a banner image the same way. Attach a file when staff need the details.
- Generate the summary and content with AI
- Generate a banner image with AI
- Set publish and expiry dates up front
Target the right audience
Not every update is for everyone. Send an announcement to all staff, limit it to specific roles, or restrict it to a specific scope such as a site or business unit. The three options are mutually exclusive, so there is no doubt about who can see a message. Featured announcements carry their own start and end dates.
- Publish to all staff, specific roles or a specific scope
- Set an expiry date so old updates drop off
- Add start and end dates for featured announcements
Manage the full lifecycle
The Manage Announcements console shows every announcement you have, grouped by draft, in review, published, archived and expired. Filter by status or category, sort any column, and open, edit or archive an announcement straight from the list. Nothing sits in limbo waiting for someone to remember it.
- Draft, in review, published, archived and expired in one view
- Filter and sort by status, category or date
- Edit or archive without leaving the list
Find any announcement
Search by title, summary or content, then narrow by category or status to get to the announcement you want. Sort the columns that matter to you and choose which ones to show. You can also include an announcement in AI search and generation, so staff who ask the AI assistant a question are directed to the right update.
- Search across title, summary and content
- Filter by category and status
- Include announcements in AI search results
See who has read it
Every announcement records total views and unique viewers, and the detail page lists who opened it, along with the date and time in their time zone. A full history sits alongside it, showing every add and update with the author and timestamp. Export the record when you need evidence for an audit or a board report.
- Track views and unique viewers per announcement
- See exactly who opened it and when
- Export a full change history
Give every organisational update an owner, an audience and a record you can check
Internal communication only counts when the message reaches the right people, and you can show it did. Sentrient's announcement management system puts drafting, approval, targeting, and read tracking in one place, inside the same platform your teams already use for compliance, policies and HR. Book a demo and see it against your own roles and structure.

Publish to all staff, restrict it to specific roles, or limit it to a specific scope such as a site or business unit. The three options are mutually exclusive.
Yes. Each announcement records total views and unique viewers, and the detail page lists the staff who opened it with the date and time they viewed it.
Announcements move through draft, in review, published, archived and expired, so an update can be reviewed before it reaches staff. Publish and expiry dates apply once the status is set to published.
Yes. Generate a draft summary and content inside the editor, and generate a banner image for featured announcements. You review and edit everything before anything is published.
Every announcement keeps a full history of each add and update with the author and timestamp. Export the record when you need evidence for an audit or a board report.
Send an email notification when you publish, show the announcement as a popup the next time someone logs in, or feature it with a banner at the top of the announcement feed.
A featured announcement sits at the top of the feed with a banner image. It needs a banner and its own start and end dates, so it stops being featured on the date you choose.
Yes. Add one file to an announcement when staff need the detail behind the update, such as a revised policy, a form or a supporting procedure.
Use your own categories to group announcements the way your organisation communicates. The Manage Announcements console then lets you filter by category or status and sort any column in the list.
Yes. Staff can search by title, summary or content and filter by category to find an earlier update, so an announcement stays useful well after the day it was published.
You choose. Set AI search and generation to yes on an announcement and its content is included in the AI assistant's results, so staff asking a question are pointed to the right update.
