Limeade ONE Cloud Comms Overview
Limeade ONE Group Synchronization Methods
This guide will describe how to manage the various aspects of the Limeade ONE Cloud Comms service.
The Cloud Comms Messages page provides an overview of all Cloud Comms cards that a logged-in employee can view. The visible cards are based on the groups that the employee belongs to and their respective channels.
Use the Sort feature to order cards by Date, Comments or Likes.
Use the Take Action section to filter further by Groups and Channels, Administer Channels and Groups, Export Messages to Excel and Author a New Message.
New Message
Create a new Cloud Comms message by selecting the channel and groups of employees that the message should target. A user can schedule the message to be sent at a later date and time; choose whether to include a push notification and expire the card at a certain date and time.
The summary and detail views will provide a visual cue of how the cards will appear when seen by employees.
Users and Groups
Manage and create groups to specifically target messages to employees. Employees can be added by searching and selecting an employee's account, or by using the import feature to add multiple user accounts through a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
Some groups may display as External. These groups are automatically updated via a sync job and the source of the employee list can vary. For example with PeopleSoft, SQL user table or Social Sites community members.
Channels are used to target a subset of employees within a group. When creating a new channel, marking it as Mandatory will ensure that all employees in the channel receive cards destined to it. Those employees cannot opt-out of receiving cards for the channel.

Limeade ONE Groups
The Limeade ONE platform allows productivity content to be routed to users based on a group subscription model. A Limeade ONE user can be a member of single or multiple groups. When a Limeade ONE Productivity Card is sent to a specified group, all users within this group will see the published card content in their Limeade ONE Productivity Stream (Hub). A good example of the use of this feature is the Limeade ONE Cloud Communications module. The Cloud Communications module allows Corporate Communications messages to be published and sent to specific users by use of the Limeade ONE Groups feature. In addition to the Cloud Communications module, any system that publishes productivity cards to the Limeade ONE platform can leverage group targeting.
Most organizations today already group their employees in some way to streamline many business functions. These groupings take on many forms such as email groups, security groups, regional groups, etc. The Limeade ONE platform is designed to be synchronized with these organizational groups using a feature called Limeade ONE Group Synchronization.
Limeade ONE Group Synchronization Methods
The Limeade ONE Group Synchronization feature currently supports 3 different methods for organizations to synchronize their groups with the platform.
- User-Initiated CSV Upload: This synchronization method allows a Limeade ONE user with Cloud Communications or tenant administration rights to manually upload a predefined group and member files to the platform. The file format for these files is the Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.
- CSV Upload Service: The Web service CSV upload method, allows organizations to automate the sending of the groups.csv and groupmembers.csv files to Limeade ONE through a REST-based web service hosted in the Limeade ONE platform.
- CSV On-premise Windows Service Synchronization: This synchronization method allows organizations to automate the process by installing an on-premise windows service that watches a folder for new files, and when new files are added, they will perform synchronization with the Limeade ONE platform.
