Frequently Asked Questions

Today you can publish your Experiences to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Email based on your membership plan¹. More distribution channels are on the roadmap. The good news is that any Experience you create today is guaranteed to be compatible with future channels with little to no changes on your part. Do let us know if you have a favorite channel in mind.

To start, register your platform of choice with Cassava. This action creates a tenant account in Cassava on your behalf. The OAuth security protocol is the primary registration model used with silo/wall garden platforms.

Microsoft Teams also allows registration to be invoked separately from the Teams Store. Microsoft Teams Admins may need to set a custom policy upfront for Cassava, depending on the organization's rules regarding third-party apps.

Webex requires the installation of our Integration. The Integration automatically adds our Bot for 1:1 messaging.

We take a progressive approach when requesting rights to resources for our Bot to perform its tasks. We request the minimum scopes to begin and then as needed in the context of the operation.

Registration via Email uses a Magic Link rather than OAuth due to the open nature of this communication platform.

You can link additional platforms to your primary account to expand your audience reach. Consult your membership plan for more information.

That is a fair question indeed. Publishing previews to your distribution channels early and often allows you to review layouts for correctness ahead of final distribution. You can preview the content for a Round across all your configured platforms. This early peek behind the scenes does not support user interaction, but we more than makeup for this limitation by rendering all the possible variations at once. For example, a preview of the Overview round also includes layouts for all Disciplines. We properly sequence all content in live mode in response to user interaction.

Role	Description
AdminLicense	An Admin is a person who normally registers Cassava with their organization. Every account must have a minimum of one Admin to control User Management and Billing. Users can be promoted to an Admin within plan limits. This promotion also applies to the other roles listed.
Team MemberLicense	Team Members are a step down from Admins and are endowed with the ability to create Experiences and invite collaborators.
Collaborator	Further down the ladder, we have collaborators who are permitted to co-author Experiences. Collaborators fall into one of two types: Inside vs Outside. Inside collaborators are members of platforms in which Cassava has been integrated. Outside collaborators have no association with the platform integrations and are invited via email to participate in the collaboration.
Audience Member	Finally, we have audience members to whom the Experience is distributed. These folks do not have access to take part in the authorship and management of the Experience. This role is implicit whereas the others are explicit.
