✨ Getting Started in Blink
Updated over 2 weeks ago

Below we've included a basic introduction for you to get started in Blink.

Jump to:

1. 🎨 Complete your profile

Click on your profile icon and then ‘Edit profile’. Here you can edit your personal profile details, add a picture, choose your notification settings and Do Not Disturb (DND) window.

2. 👥 Invite your colleagues

Blink is nothing without people. Click on the ⚙️ icon to access the Admin area of Blink. Then head to ‘Users’ under ‘Blink Identity’ to invite one or more colleagues to Blink. A shortcut to ‘Users’ is also here.

3. 💬 Create a Chat

Separate your personal and professional conversations by using Chats, our private messaging module. Create 1-2-1 or Group Chats to safely share work-sensitive information.

Tip: Whilst in a Chat, click the "+" button next to the message box for fun Super Powers like sending GIFs and confetti, as well as functional options including sharing documents.

4. ✍️ Share a Feed post

Select 'Share a post with your team' when in the Feed. Use the rich text editor to make your post look great, and add any relevant photos or videos.

Some ideas are:

  • Morning/team briefings

  • Overtime requests or scheduling changes

  • Recognize a colleague

  • Welcome a new starter

Try out our Blink Assist AI tool to help you write your post by clicking on the icon in the window. You can prompt Blink Assist to either write a new post or improve a post, and shape it to preference. When you’re happy with your text, you can use that as an editable draft for your post.

5. 📚 Access what YOU need via the Hub

Access is everything in Blink. Store your company’s key systems, content, resources and policies in our Hub module.

Click on the ⚙️ icon to access the Admin area of Blink. Then go to ‘Hub’ under ‘Content Studio’ to bring up the editor. Add any content your employees would find useful to have in one place.

Some ideas might be:

  • A shortcut to your HR system

  • A new starter feedback form

  • A Blink page of your health and safety policy

  • A welcome video from your CEO

6. 📱 Download Blink wherever you are

Blink is available on mobile, desktop, tablet and web browser. To stay connected wherever you are, download Blink on your other devices by heading to our Download page.
