Emoji reactions have become extremely popular in the past few years, allowing people to express a larger range of emotions and react to content, news and updates with the click of a button. After a massive adoption on social media and in the personal sphere, reactions are making their way to the professional world - and for the best! Their versatility allows for a broader way to connect with others, and as businesses need to adapt to continue to offer their client a great digital experience, this new functionality brings a fun and fast way for members to interact. Here we’ll show you how to leverage them in Clinked.
Emoji reactions were introduced in Clinked as part of a broader feature release in early May 2021. This feature came directly from requests from our existing clients and as such was added to our product roadmap earlier this year.
There are 5 different reactions available in Clinked. These include:
Each of these icons allow you, your team, clients and business partners to express different emotions and reactions depending on your intention, making it easy to keep up with the opinions of your clients and teams across the content of your portal.
Reactions can be found on all collaborative features within Clinked. This includes:
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a long, crowded email thread that requires the approval of multiple stakeholders? Giving an individual written response can be time consuming and unnecessary when an emoji can do the same job.
Reactions allow everyone to share their opinion with a click of a button: no flooding inboxes, no time wasted reading or making sense of everyone’s opinion. Reactions also handily appear in your notifications and as part of your activity stream in your dashboard.
Internally, we have been using reactions to:
There are multiple ways to celebrate team success and sometimes, a small acknowledgement is all that is needed. Here at Clinked, we believe that progress and small wins should be encouraged and recognized regularly. Our like, love and hot emoji reactions allow you to do just that and give the space for a more personal response than just a quick comment of ‘yes’.
Here are some examples we think that our like, love and hot emoji reactions are perfect for:
Sometimes, you just need quick decisions to be made. You could be hesitating between two design choices for your newest marketing material or waiting for clients to vote for the best date to hold the next quarterly meeting. Rather than sending polls via email, asking colleagues and clients to vote with reactions is a quick and effective way to get actionable feedback.
Emoji reactions help foster collaboration and make communication quick and easy. They help provide instant feedback that allows for smarter and faster communication with both internal and external stakeholders. At Clinked, we have already seen the benefits of this feature with our own internal team, and are pleased to pass on these fun and useful tools to our clients.
