A nudge is a manual reminder. Windy sends it to the person in their pulse chat. Use it when you want a response before the run expires. Windy also sends automatic reminders. Nudges do not replace or stop them.

Who can nudge

  • Only owners with edit access can send nudges.
  • The pulse must be active. You cannot nudge on a paused, completed, or archived pulse.
  • You can nudge only people who got the run and have not responded.
  • You can nudge each person once every 15 minutes.

Send a nudge

1

Open the run

Open the pulse and select the Runs tab. Select a run to open its details. To open the run on its own page, select the View Run icon.
2

Filter to people who have not responded

The Status filter shows Not responded by default. People who have not responded show No response. To see other people, change the Status filter.
3

Select people

Select the checkbox next to each person to nudge. To select all people who have not responded, select the checkbox in the header. You can select only people who got the pulse and have not responded.
4

Send the nudges

Select Nudge. The button shows the number of people you selected, for example Nudge 3. On the run page, the button shows in the action bar.
A message shows how many people Windy nudged. Windy skips people you nudged in the last 15 minutes. After you nudge someone, the run shows when they were last nudged.

Anonymous pulses

On an anonymous pulse, you cannot select or nudge specific people, because that would show who has responded. Instead, select Remind everyone who hasn’t responded on the run. Windy nudges everyone who got the run and hasn’t responded, and the message shows only how many people it reminded. The same 15-minute limit applies. Automatic reminders still go out. See Named and anonymous pulses.

Ask Windy to nudge

You can ask Windy to nudge people for you. Windy finds the run and the people who have not responded, then sends the nudges.
“@Windy nudge everyone who hasn’t responded to the Q3 engagement pulse.”
The same rules apply. Windy nudges only people who have not responded, and skips anyone you nudged in the last 15 minutes. On an anonymous pulse, Windy tells you how many people it reminded, not who.

FAQs

Yes, but only everyone at once. Select Remind everyone who hasn’t responded, or ask Windy. You see how many people were reminded, not who. Automatic reminders still go out before the deadline.
No. Windy writes the reminder message.
