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

Find people who have not responded

The run lists each participant. People who have not responded show No response.
3

Select Nudge

Select Nudge next to the person. The button changes to Sent.
After you nudge someone, the run shows when they were last nudged. If you try again too soon, Nudge shows Just nudged, you can nudge again in and the number of minutes.

​
Anonymous pulses

The Nudge button does not show on anonymous pulses. Automatic reminders still go out to people who have not responded. 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.
