## How to send a shoutout with G-Chat

- To send a shoutout through G-Chat, you can either click the **+** button or type **/sendShoutout** and select from the pop up and hit the **Send** button.

- A pop up form will open that you will fill out for your shoutout.

- **Selected employees** will auto-populate from the users in Nectar and you can search the name of the person you want to send to. You can select multiple users.

- **Amount** will show you how many points you have **remaining** in your total giveable points balance. You will type out whatever amount you want to give in points. If you shoutout multiple people that will be the amount you want to give to **each** user.

- **Message** is what message you want to include in your shoutout and have sent to the recipient of the shoutout. Make sure you message includes a meaningful message to your co-worker to show they make a difference. 💛

- **Selected company values** auto-populates the list of core values in your Nectar account. You can select multiple values.

- Once you have filled out your shoutout form, hit send and it will go to Nectar!
