One Feed Every Employee Actually Reads
News Feed gives every employee a personalized stream of updates from their teams, groups, and company — with Must-Read posts that require acknowledgement, Operational updates, and Social content kept separate so important things don't get lost in the noise.
What News Feed Helps You Do
Six everyday actions on the feed that drives the rest of the workday.
Post & Acknowledge
Must-Read posts require an acknowledgement and expire on a configurable window. Operational and Social posts use the same surface but stay separated.
Ask Questions & Poll
Question posts and single-select polls help comms teams gather lightweight feedback without turning Must-Read or Operational updates into noisy threads.
Target The Right People
Posts are scoped by team, group, location, role, or department membership. Per-segment notification frequencies keep noise low.
Pin & Track
Pin critical items, mark posts unread for follow-up, and track who has acknowledged Must-Reads — with read-receipt analytics built in.
Reach Frontline
Branded mobile app, push notifications, digest emails, and SMS alerts ensure deskless workers stay informed even without corporate email.
Govern The Channel
~50 admin toggles, role-gated Signals/SMEs/Analytics surfaces, audience targeting, and content governance turn the feed into a governed comms channel.
One Feed, Three Audiences
For Employees
A unified, personalized stream — work, team, and company updates in one place.
- Personalized feed — only see updates from groups, teams, and channels you belong to.
- Question posts — gather answers without sending another survey.
- Single-select polls — two to five options for quick sentiment or preference checks.
- Mute controls — employees can quiet non-critical posts without losing access.
- Mobile-first — same experience on web, desktop, and the branded mobile app.
For Managers
Team feeds, acknowledgement tracking, and Must-Read announcements with built-in accountability.
- Team-level feeds — group and department feeds for targeted content.
- Must-Read acknowledgement — see who's read it, who hasn't, who needs a nudge.
- Unread badges — new content highlighted; mark-as-read-on-scroll keeps feeds clean.
- Manager dashboard — company news, team announcements, scheduling, and approvals in one view.
For Admins & Comms Teams
Audience targeting, governance, analytics, and ~50 toggles to tune the channel.
- Audience targeting — post to specific teams, locations, roles, or departments.
- Per-segment notification frequencies — different cadences for different audiences.
- Read-receipt analytics — engagement and acknowledgement reporting per post.
- Digest scheduling — daily or weekly email digests so employees stay current without interruption.
- Content governance — moderation queues, audience scope, and Must-Read expiration windows.
Why Email And SharePoint Stop Working
Traditional comms tools fragment information across inboxes, SharePoint pages, and chat apps — leaving employees overwhelmed, disengaged, or simply out of the loop.
Missed Critical Updates
Emails get buried. SharePoint announcements go unread. Important policy and procedure changes slip past employees who needed to see them.
Fragmented Channels
Updates live across email, Slack, Teams, and the intranet. Employees check multiple tools just to stay current on their own work.
No Engagement Visibility
You send the update, but you have no idea who read it. Low-visibility communication breeds low accountability.
Frontline Workers Left Out
Deskless employees rarely have corporate email. Without a frontline-first feed, they're perpetually out of the loop.
Social Noise Drowns Out Operations
Recognition, social posts, and operational alerts compete in the same stream. Critical Must-Reads end up buried under emoji reactions and birthday shoutouts.
No Audit Trail For Compliance
When auditors ask who acknowledged the policy update or safety notice, email and SharePoint can't answer. Acknowledgement tracking and read receipts are missing entirely.
Attention Where It Matters
An ongoing stream of updates ensures employees never miss critical information. Must-Read acknowledgement, read tracking, polls, questions, audience targeting, and notification frequency controls keep the feed useful without turning it into another noisy timeline.
News Feed In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Unified company feed with a clear hierarchy: Must-Read, Operational, and Social content.
Controls that matter
Audience & Permissions includes Everyone vs segment-targeted audiences and Role-gated Signals, SMEs, Analytics, and Settings tabs.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: Must-Read posts require acknowledgement and expiry; polls support two to five single-select options; published posts have a 15-minute edit window.
Frontline safety alerts
Safety team publishes a Must-Read operational post with an expiry; acknowledgements are tracked per location and reminders go out automatically.
Leadership strategic announcements
Leadership posts a company-wide update targeted to everyone with a clear Operational tag and read-percent visibility.
Team operational updates
A department manager posts routine updates scoped to their segment so other teams are not distracted.

See Integrations→ Notifications
Granular per-channel notification controls (web, desktop, mobile, email) plus daily/weekly digest email scheduling.
REPLACES POINT TOOLS
One feed in place of the comms stack you stitched together
Most companies running internal comms today juggle a separate enterprise social tool, an email newsletter platform, a SharePoint news page, and a chat broadcast channel. News Feed retires that stack — and every employee, including frontline, finally sees the same thing.
Workplace by Meta
Wound down by Meta in 2026 — customers are migrating off
- Frontline workers can sign in from a personal phone with no corporate email — Workplace required it
- Audience targeting reuses your HRIS org chart automatically instead of manual groups
- Acknowledgement, translation, and analytics included — not paid add-ons
Yammer / Viva Engage
Microsoft's enterprise social network, now part of Viva
- Works for the 80% of your workforce without Microsoft 365 licenses
- One unified feed instead of separate Yammer + SharePoint News + Teams Announcements
- Posts inherit your existing SSO and retention policy — no new identity perimeter
Staffbase / Beekeeper internal feed
Single-purpose frontline comms apps
- News Feed lives in the same app employees use for shifts, HR, and tasks — one login, not five
- Includes the comms tool AND every other workflow that touches the frontline
- Same per-employee price covers all suites instead of one app per vendor
SharePoint News + Mailchimp + Slack channel
The DIY internal comms stack
- One post reaches every channel (web, mobile, email digest, desktop notification) — no manual cross-posting
- Frontline staff actually see it instead of needing to log into the intranet
- Acknowledgement, read receipts, and engagement analytics built in, not duct-taped
PLATFORM LEVERAGE
News Feed inherits everything else MangoApps already does
A point solution has to build, buy, or integrate each of these. News Feed gets them for free because the platform already runs them.
Identity & SSO
Inherits your SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, and SCIM provisioning. New employees see the feed on day one without separate provisioning.
HRIS-synced audiences
Audience targeting uses live org chart, role, location, and department data from your HRIS — no parallel distribution lists to maintain.
Translation in 100+ languages
Every post auto-translates inline. The same Mango Translation layer that powers Chat, SOPs, and Policies powers the feed.
Audit log & retention
Posts, edits, and acknowledgements land in the same audit log eDiscovery and Legal already use across every other module.
Mobile app & push
Posts arrive in the branded mobile app employees already opened today for shifts, leave, and pay — no second app to install.
Workflow & automation
A post can trigger a form, an acknowledgement task, a survey, or a Bot — using the same automation engine as every other app.
INDUSTRY FIT
Built for the industries where comms actually breaks
News Feed is the comms backbone for organizations whose workforce is mostly off-desk, on-shift, or out in the field — where email and intranet portals don't reach.
Retail
Store associates open the same app for their schedule and see the daily huddle, promo updates, and safety alerts — even on a personal phone.
Healthcare
Shift staff get patient-safety notices, policy updates, and clinical announcements with read tracking that meets compliance review.
Manufacturing
Plant-floor and field crews see safety alerts and shift announcements on shared kiosks or personal devices, in their preferred language.
Financial Services
Compliance comms, broker bulletins, and regulatory updates with audit trail, legal hold, and FINRA-friendly retention.
Hospitality
Property-specific announcements, brand updates, and shift handoffs reach housekeeping, front desk, and F&B without a corporate email.
Public Sector
Targeted department comms, mandatory training acknowledgements, and emergency notifications with FedRAMP-eligible deployment options.
WHY MANGOAPPS WINS
One platform beats a stack of point solutions on every axis
The argument finance, security, IT, and HR all share — and the one a comms point tool structurally cannot answer.
Cheaper than the stack
One per-employee suite license replaces Workplace + Yammer + Mailchimp + acknowledgement tool + translation tool — and the bill stops growing.
More secure
One identity perimeter, one audit log, one retention policy across every post and acknowledgement. Nothing for security to re-certify.
Easier to deploy
Already deployed if you have MangoApps. Turn the app on, target audiences from existing HR data, send your first post the same day.
Easier to use
The mobile app employees already opened for their shift, leave balance, and pay stub is also where the company feed lives. One login.
Easier to manage
Comms admins target by department, role, location, or custom group from the live HRIS org chart — no parallel list to keep in sync.
Easier to extend
A post can trigger a workflow, an acknowledgement task, a survey, or an AI assistant — using the same automation engine as every other app.
AI is actually better
News Feed AI ranks posts using engagement signals from across the platform — and can answer "did the floor read this?" with the data it already has, governed by the same permission model.
Pair News Feed With Its AI Agent
News Feed AI ranks feed content for each employee and generates daily briefs — grounded in the posts the user is permitted to see.

Customer Case Studies
“We had a pretty aggressive educational campaign. We shared articles and emails, put up posters with QR codes, and hosted info sessions. And we held a naming contest. Hundreds of employees voted, which gave them a sense of ownership from day one. That early engagement went a long way.”
