CanvaSay hello to custom distribution lists just for comms
Workshop makes it easy to send the right message to the right group — without creating more work for your team. Upload custom lists, sync with your HR tools, or target audiences based on role, location, department, or more.
An overview of distribution lists
Automatic syncing with your source of truth
Keep your lists up to date by syncing Workshop with your HRIS, Active Directory, or other employee data tools. As roles and teams change, your lists update automatically.
Streamline your internal comms workflows
No need to get the IT team involved; use Workshop’s list building tools to create distribution lists that you manage.
Target by any employee field
Filter audiences by location, department, title, manager, or any custom field. Send internal emails that feel more relevant — and get better engagement.
Lock down list creation and access
Not everyone needs access to every list. Use permissions to control who can create and send to specific audiences.
Practical ways to use automatic
lists in your internal comms
Here are some of the best ways companies are
personalizing content within Workshop:
Create a list of your recent new hires
Create a list of employees that started in the last 90 days to create employee onboarding campaigns.
Segment comms by location
Use HRIS data to build lists by office, state, country, or any other location data.
Target employees by status
Reach your part-time or salaried employees by using employee status synced directly from your HRIS.
Don’t just take our word for it!

That’s completely up to you! Use role-based permissions to decide who can build or edit your employee distribution lists, and who can only send to approved audiences.
