This is available on Subscription Tiers:
Essentials, Accelerate, and Ultimate
Community Boards gives your clients and staff one place in the Wodify app to celebrate wins, share updates, and talk with each other, without a Facebook group or another app. Board audiences are built on Segments, so membership updates on its own as clients join or leave.
Pre-requisite Pro-Tip
An Admin or Manager is required to create or change boards, Coaches can view only.
For any Segment you want to target as your audience, please create this ahead of time and you can reference this article: Create Segments.
Step-By-Step How To: Your Starter Boards
Every account starts with two boards: Social Feed (all active clients) and Employees (your Coaches Segment).
You can deactivate them or exclude clients, but not delete them. On Essentials, only Exclude and the Active switch can be changed.
For Admins: Create and Manage Boards (Core)
- Go to Communication > Community Boards and click Create Board.
- Add a name (up to 50 characters), an optional description, and a header image.
- Under Visibility, choose Everyone, or select Segments and individual clients. Use Exclude to leave specific clients out.
- Under Permissions, choose which roles can post and reply.
- Make sure Active is on, then click Save.
To edit a board, click its name.
To remove a board, click the ellipsis on its row and choose Deactivate (hides it and keeps its posts) or Delete Board.
Tip: Community appears in your app's bottom tabs by default. Move it anywhere with Custom Nav. To rename "Boards," use your Custom Dictionary.
Note: Creating your own boards requires the Accelerate or Ultimate subscription tier. Essentials includes the two starter boards: Social Feed and Employees

FAQs
- "A client can't see a board." Check that the board is Active, the client is in its Segment and not excluded, and they haven't left it.
- "Do new clients get added to boards automatically?" Yes. When a board uses a Segment, clients are added and removed as they enter or leave that Segment.
- "A client can't post or comment." Check the board's Permissions for their role and the client's like and comment setting.
- "The Create Board button is grayed out." You need Accelerate or Ultimate and an Admin or Manager role.
- "Notifications aren't coming through." Check the Community Boards notification settings in the app and the phone's notification settings.
