Welcome to Mio
Here you will find a set of email templates to smoothly onboard your end users to Mio. While it is a simple process that takes only a few minutes, it is imperative that your end users sync their accounts when prompted by Mio. If this is not complete, cross-platform messaging will be unsuccessful.
It is our hope that these templates make the introductory process easy and organized.
There are three emails and a channel post in this template. Copy paste the items and customize them to suit the needs of your organization. They include:
Channel post: introduction to Mio and sync date, to be pinned to your org-wide channel
Email #1: introducing Mio to your end users
Email #2: setting a deployment date and preview of the Mio sync prompt
Email #3: deployment date arrival, instructions on how to sync for cross-platform chat
Thank you for choosing Mio. Whether your organization uses Slack, Zoom Team Chat, Microsoft Teams, or Webex, we look forward to being your partners in efficient and dynamic collaboration.
How to use these templates
As these are platform agnostic templates, you will need to personalize them by inputting your organization's platforms. For platform specific templates, refer to the following links:
Continue reading if you prefer to use this template version.
Replace [platform A] with your users’ primary chat platform. A primary platform is the “home base,” the app that they use most often. Replace [platform B] with your users’ secondary platform. A secondary platform is the one to which messages need to be sent.
We have also included screenshots of the prompt that your user will receive on sync day on all four platforms. Please delete the platform screenshots that are irrelevant to your organization.
Please replace [date] with your organization's sync date.

ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE READ UNTIL END:
WHO: All employees
WHAT: We will be implementing Mio, a software that enables cross-platform messaging between [Platform A] and [Platform B]. With few exceptions, the chat experience that Mio provides is native. This means that your [Platform A] experience will not change, even as messages are sent to [Platform B].
WHY: We understand that it has been a challenge communicating with colleagues on [Platform B] while remaining on [Platform A]. With Mio, we look forward to seeing the following:
Reduction of workplace silos
Streamlined workflow and improved efficiency, less time wasted switching between apps
Increased communication and collaboration
WHEN: Our sync date will be [date].
HOW: Setting up Mio requires very little of your time, with no additional app to be installed. That said, on [date] you will receive a Mio prompt on [Platform A] with simple instructions that take less than 5 minutes to complete.
Please accept this prompt. If you do not, cross-platform messaging will not be enabled.
If you have any questions, please respond to this message or reach out to the IT department directly. Please react to this message to let us know you’ve seen it.
Email #1: Intro to Mio
Send two weeks before deployment
Subject: Introducing Mio
Hello,
Our company is in the process of deploying Mio, a software that provides cross-platform chat interoperability. Mio will enable you to stay on [platform A] while communicating with colleagues on [platform B].
We hope that Mio will make your lives easier. And the best part is that you’ll hardly notice that it’s there. With no additional app to install and a native chat experience, Mio saves time and maximizes efficiency by bridging the gap from [platform A] to [platform B].
The implementation process will occur primarily on the admin level and requires no action from you at the moment. That said, stay tuned for upcoming emails walking you through a few simple steps required to get Mio set up for each account.

Best,
IT department

Hello,
You may remember an email from a couple weeks ago introducing Mio, a software that enables cross-platform chat interoperability. We are getting closer to our deployment date and wanted to put a couple of things on your radar.
Our deployment date will be [date]. On [date], you will receive a prompt from Mio that looks like this:
Microsoft Teams
Webex
Slack
Zoom Team Chat
This is a legitimate message from Mio and is necessary to enable cross-platform chat. Once you receive this message, please click “Sync my account.”
We are excited to begin working with Mio and will follow up with one final reminder email on [date].
Best,
IT department
Email #3: Deployment date arrival & instructions
Send on your deployment date
Subject: It's time to connect with Mio

Today is our Mio deployment date. With Mio, you’ll be able to chat from [platform A] to colleagues on [platform B].
You will have received a prompt from the Mio bot that looks like this:
Microsoft Teams
Webex
Slack
Zoom Team Chat
Click “Sync/link my account” and follow the instructions. This will take less than 5 minutes. Once complete, the Mio bot will send you a confirmation prompt.
