Introducing Natter to First-Time Users
When you invite people to a Natter Event, a short introduction helps them understand what to expect and encourages open, engaged participation. The following points are useful to include in your communications.
What Natter is
Natter facilitates 1:1 conversations powered by conversational AI, gathering diverse, anonymous insights at scale. It is more than a survey - it is an interactive space for dynamic, real-time discussion.
Why it matters to participants
A safe, anonymous space for open dialogue
Real-time analysis of ideas and perspectives
A genuine influence on organisational strategy and improvements
What to Share With Participants
Event details
Date and time
Duration (for example, 60 minutes)
No downloads required - participants join directly from a link
Topics for discussion
Share a clear agenda in advance so participants arrive prepared to discuss the relevant topics.
How Participants Join
Include clear joining guidance when you share the Event. The steps below can be passed directly to participants.
1. Run a Tech Check
Before the Event, complete the quick automated Tech Check. This confirms connectivity is working and that a workplace firewall isn't blocking access. Run it in the same location, and ideally on the same device, you intend to use on the day.
2. Open the Event link
Using a desktop or laptop, select the Natter Event link provided and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Sign in or register
If your organisation uses Single Sign-On (SSO), sign in using it. If not, register with your email address, follow the prompts and complete the short user registration process.
4. Register in advance
Registering ahead of time is recommended, as the process includes a few short research questions worth taking time over.
5. Test your camera and microphone
When prompted, allow Natter access to your camera and microphone, and check them as you join so you can be seen and heard. You can also utilise the Natter Health Check to test your peripherals.
Sharing the Event Link
Distribute the link
Copy the Event URL from the Natter Events page and share it with attendees by email, calendar invite, or a channel such as Slack or Teams. Send it in advance so participants have time to run their Tech Checks, Health Checks and register.
Use calendar invites
Add the Natter URL to the location field of a calendar invitation so participants can find it easily, and set a reminder (for example, 10 minutes before) to support punctuality.
Include clear instructions
When sharing the link, include brief guidance on how to run the Tech Check, how to register, and what to expect on the day.
