Announcement channels
Broadcast rooms where only admins post and everyone else reads, with push and in-app alerts.
Announcement rooms work like a company-wide megaphone. Owners, admins, and moderators can post. Everyone else reads only, but they still get realtime updates, in-app notifications, and push when you have push configured.
Create a channel
In the dashboard, go to Rooms and pick type Announcement, or call:
POST /rooms
{ "name": "Company news", "type": "announcement" }Who can post
assertCanPostToRoom blocks regular members. They get:
{ "error": "announcement_read_only", "code": "announcement_read_only", "roomType": "announcement" }HTTP status 403.
What members receive
When an admin posts successfully:
- The room Durable Object broadcasts the message in realtime.
- Every other member gets an in-app notification with
kind: "announcement". - Web, FCM, and APNs push run with higher priority (
topic: announcement) throughmaybePushNotifyOnMessage.
Announcement pushes still go out even if a member turned off routine message notifications. That is intentional for broadcast content.
