Channels and announcements inside IRIS
Communicator gives the plant channels, direct messages and broadcasts. A broadcast can require read confirmation and keeps a register of who confirmed.

What it does
- 01
Channels and direct messages
Threads, mentions, reactions, pins and file attachments. You see who is online and who is typing.
- 02
Broadcasts with read confirmation
Set a title, category, priority and expiry date. Choose the roles that receive it and whether confirmation is required.
- 03
Search and unread counters
Search messages in your channels. Unread counters show what is new, and a message stream catches you up.
Where the data comes from
- Messages, channels, threads, reactions, attachments and broadcasts are written in Communicator.
- Your identity and roles come from the verified IRIS login.
- Sent messages and broadcasts go onto the platform event bus, so other modules can react.
Good to know
- Communicator sends no SMS, phone push or email, and has no link to Slack or Teams.
- A message does not create a task. Add the task in Tasks, where the work is tracked.
- There are no escalations or SLA clocks here. Task escalation is in Tasks.
