Pulses

Loom Overview

Here is a quick overview of how Pulses work

How do Pulses work?

Pulses are our most flexible and open ended Routine, giving your team the ability to ask your team a custom set of questions on either a recurring or one off basis.

Steps

  1. You can choose any team or group of people to collect priorities from (as long as you are an Admin or that person or team's manager)

  2. For Pulses you can ask anything you want of your team. There are some additional resources below with popular pulses.

  3. If you want to ask multiple questions, you can! Easily edit the flow of the conversation in the Discussion Guide

  4. All Pulses can be recurring, one time or manual:

    1. Recurring - will run a on a regular schedule

    2. One Time - will run on a one off basis

    3. Manual - will run on demand whenever the creator wants

  5. Set your expiration - once the pulse expires, your report will be generated

  6. Select your response visibility - depending on the topic of your pulse, you can opt to make the responses public or anonymous

Why it helps?

  • Pulses will rescue you from the horrors of google forms or long feedback cycles. Pulses take a minute to set up and will give you valuable insights delivered directly to your inbox.

  • Our other Routines are extremely helpful, but fairly rigid in their structure. Pulses let you collect feedback on anything.

    • Candidate feedback

    • Lunch orders

    • Offsite feedback

    • All Hands feedback or agenda items

    • There are countless other use cases, have fun with it
