# Broadcast Announcements
#### What are broadcasts?
Send formatted announcements from Wrangle to as many Slack channels and DMs as you need, whether you need to announce product launches, policy updates, maintenance windows, outages, or any other business need.
#### Who can send a broadcast?
Broadcast announcements are currently offered for Slack only. Any one in your workspace can send an announcement, and you can see who sent an announcement easily under each announcement title.
#### How does it work?
First, you will want to create an [Audience](/broadcasts/audiences.md), which is the group of Slack channels or users who will receive your broadcast. Then you can compose your announcement title and body, including markdown. You can send a test DM to yourself to preview how the broadcast will look, and then either save it as a draft or send the broadcast to your audience.
You can send either as yourself or the Wrangle bot. Use the live preview on the right to verify markdown appears correctly, or go [here for a guide to using Slack markdown](https://www.wrangle.io/post/slack-markdown-a-comprehensive-guide-to-formatting-messages).
#### Troubleshooting
If a broadcast fails to send, verify that the Wrangle bot or the user you are sending as is in the channel and allowed to post a message.
If it appears some channels or users in a large audience do not receive your broadcast right away, keep in mind broadcasts to large audiences can take several minutes. Our Wrangle bot will DM you once all broadcast messages have been delivered.
