Bulletin Board
Turn your virtual room into an interactive community space with a customizable sticky-note board.
Visitors can leave messages, introductions, questions, resources, links, and other notes directly on the board. You stay in control by reviewing submissions before they appear publicly.
Depending on how you set up your board, visitors can also add images, links, choose a sticky-note color, or set an expiration date for their note.
The Bulletin Board works well for networking rooms, coworking spaces, events, classrooms, support groups, community hubs, brainstorming sessions, feedback walls, or anywhere you want visitors to participate instead of just look around.
You control what gets posted. New notes are sent to you for approval first, so visitors cannot instantly put something public on your board without your review.
Try the board! Open a sticky note to see how visitors interact with approved posts. On your own Bulletin Board, visitors can submit new notes for you to review and approve.
