Community Campaigns in Viva Engage

Introducing community campaigns to boost engagement within your community. Now, community admins can easily create campaigns directly within the community. Simply locate the campaign’s right rail, click the plus button, and fill in campaign details like #hashtag, description, and default publisher in the pop-up.
