Feed is a place for the sharing of information and internal communication in your company. It includes:
- employees' posts
- last updates in workgroups and projects that you are a member of
- upcoming events
- work reports
- workflows in progress
Feed keeps users updated on their current activities, like messages, comments, files, task notifications, and more.
Messages
It is the most popular way to communicate in Feed. Compose a text or record a video. Then decide who will receive your message: all employees, a group of employees, or a specific employee.

Polls
In order to make a major decision, a company needs to know the opinion of its employees on a specific issue. Publish a post with a poll among all employees or specific departments and collect their votes.
Files
Attach and publish files of any extension in Feed. Upload them from your Bitrix24.Drive or from your computer. Share files with colleagues and discuss all details in the comments section of the publication.
