Admin Basics

The General Settings section in the Mellowe Admin Dashboard allows workspace administrators to configure core app behaviors, select announcement channels, customize recognition currency and daily limits, and manage account lifecycle options.

1. Main Channel Selection

Choose the primary Slack channel where Mellowe publicly posts recognitions, badges, and automated celebration announcements.

Setting Up Your Main Channel:

1. In the Admin Dashboard, go to Settings > General.
2. Under Select Channel, open the dropdown menu.
3. Choose your designated channel (e.g. #mellow-out or #recognition).

   Note: Only Slack channels where the Mellowe bot has already been invited/added will appear in the dropdown list. If your channel is missing, invite Mellowe to the channel in Slack first (/invite @Mellowe).

4. Click Save Changes.

2. Custom Currency & Daily Limits

Customize the primary emoji currency used for appreciation and set daily giving allowances for your team.

Configuring Currency & Limits:

1. Daily Send Limit:
   • Set the maximum number of currency points a user can give per day (Default is 20 points/day).
   • Example: Set to 7 points/day to keep recognitions deliberate and meaningful.
2. Search Custom Emojis:
   • Browse or search your Slack workspace’s uploaded custom emojis (e.g. :party-blob:, :shipit:).
3. Type Standard Emoji Name:
   • Type any standard emoji identifier (e.g. mango for :mango: 🥭).
4. Click Save Changes.
