Keep in mind

A channel status can change quickly, and a mistaken alert can confuse viewers or direct them to the wrong place. Verify the channel identity and current status immediately before sharing, check any title or link, and require a person to approve an outward-facing alert.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select channels and owners

List the public channels in scope and identify who may request or approve a status update.

Choose when a check is useful

Agree on the review schedule or occasion and how quickly a status must be rechecked before sharing.

Set audience and message rules

Decide where an approved alert may be shared and what channel details it should include.

Test live, offline, and unavailable cases

Check each possible status and confirm uncertain results are held for a person rather than announced.
