# How has GroupTogether worked for coordinating office-wide cards and messages? I like the cute designs, easy tracking from start to finish, and customization options in GroupTogether. The AI assistant is also helpful when you need support writing or refining your message, and it feels like a reasonable cost for the outcome. The only downside I can think of is if your recipient prefers a physical card. How have you handled that, and what’s been your experience getting everyone to sign and contribute via the inbox link? ##### Post Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Executive Assistant to the VP of Advancement and Communications - Net upvotes: 1 ## Comments ### Comment 1 For me, GroupTogether feels really personable and not mechanical, which makes the messages come across more genuine. I also like being able to customize things along the way as the card comes together, instead of having to lock everything in upfront. I haven’t run into any real downsides yet, but I’ll update if anything comes up over time. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 10 hours ago - Author title: Sr. Administrative Assistant ### Comment 2 I’ve found the selection of digital card designs is a big plus, and the platform stays simple to use even when a lot of people are adding notes. It’s been a fun, creative way to celebrate teammates since everyone can write personalized messages in one place. My only hesitation is the tiered pricing, which felt a bit high compared to some free options. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 5 days ago - Author title: Executive Assistant & Corporate Business Professional ### Comment 3 One thing I liked is how it pushed people to be verbal about appreciation that usually goes unnoticed, and my boss really appreciated the notes. It also solved the headache of organizing a group gift or message from multiple people since everything was in one place. The only snag I hit was a freezing pane where I couldn’t submit and had to start over, plus it wasn’t totally clear to me when the message would actually be sent versus when I hit send. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 7 days ago - Author title: Vice President of Administration at United Atlantic Capital ### Comment 4 I used GroupTogether to create a Symphony card for a global team, and it helped a lot since everyone could add their message on their own schedule across time zones. The finished card still felt cohesive and personal, without me copying and pasting notes from email or chat. The main extra work was sending reminders to hit the deadline, and I did find the customization options a bit limited for the final look. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 8 days ago - Author title: Director of Talent ### Comment 5 I used GroupTogether for a Boss’s Day card and it made coordinating messages across different schedules and locations really simple. Everyone could contribute in one place, which helped it feel more personal and meaningful without a lot of back-and-forth. I honestly didn’t run into any issues, it was smooth from start to finish. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: HR Director ### Comment 6 For hybrid teams, this has been the easiest way I’ve found to get everyone to sign without needing a physical card passed around. Sharing the card to a group list is super straightforward, so I can loop in the right people quickly and keep it moving. I haven’t really run into missing features so far, it’s covered what I need. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: San/mc coordinator ### Comment 7 I used it to organize a baby gift for a fully remote team and it was nice having the card, messages, and money collection all in one Slack link. People could add a GIF and either chip in privately or just sign, and the automatic reminders meant I didn’t have to chase anyone. The only friction I hit was not knowing which homepage option to pick at first, plus the service fee showing up late and a checkout glitch that made me retype the “From” field. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: Cloud Data Engineer at Calix ### Comment 8 1000%! One thing that stood out for me was how intuitive it was for a mixed-skill team. Even coworkers who struggle with new tools were able to jump in quickly and contribute without much help. A lot of platforms talk up collaboration, but this one actually delivered that in practice for our group. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: EA ### Comment 9 I’ve had a really smooth experience using GroupTogether to gather personal notes from colleagues, especially when I wanted it to stay private and organized. The design feels very user friendly, and I like how easy it is to customize without a lot of effort. It also felt affordable for what it helped us pull together. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: PR and Communications Manager ### Comment 10 I used GroupTogether for Pastor Appreciation Month at our church, and having everyone’s heartfelt messages in one place made it feel really personal and meaningful. It also solved the hassle of dealing with a physical card. One thing I’d love is an anonymous option, because I think more people would be willing to share a message that way. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 9 days ago - Author title: Administrative Assistant ### Comment 11 I’ve found it especially helpful when I need to collect messages from a large department for things like a wedding card or Boss’s Day. It saves me a lot of time versus circulating a physical card, and it makes it easier for people to participate even if they’re not in the office or are on different schedules. The only real challenge is getting everyone to respond on time, so I sometimes have to send follow-up reminders. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Senior Administrative Assistant at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital |Co-Chair Cincinnati Children’s Administrative Professionals |Photographer ### Comment 12 For me, GroupTogether was the easiest way to get my colleagues to sign a card for our CEO without chasing people down. Everything felt simple to complete, so it was easy to get everyone involved. It’s been a nice way to bring the team together to celebrate milestones. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Director of Marketing ### Comment 13 In our office, paper cards always ended up buried on someone’s desk, so switching to a GroupTogether link in Teams made participation happen fast. It’s saved me a lot of time keeping the card moving so it’s ready for birthdays or holiday recognition. People also really enjoyed being able to add a GIF, and I like that I can print a PDF card at the end for presenting in person. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Chief of Staff ### Comment 14 I’ve found it especially helpful for teams that aren’t all in the same place. I’m on a team of 12 admin assistants spread across different floors, and having everyone sign digitally saved me from running around the building to collect messages. It also meant no one was waiting on anyone else to add their note. Setup and sharing the link has been straightforward, and I like that the recipient can choose the gift card merchant. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: Administrative Services Specialist at Northwestern Mutual ### Comment 15 For me, the simple interface made it really easy to get colleagues on board quickly when I was organizing a group gift. I’ve also found it works well beyond office cards since you can crowdsource a gift for a friend, family member, or coworker in the same flow. The recipient having lots of options to choose from makes the whole thing feel more flexible and convenient. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 10 days ago - Author title: VP, Head of Sales ## Related Product [GroupTogether](https://www.g2.com/products/grouptogether/reviews) ## Related Category [Employee Recognition](https://www.g2.com/categories/employee-recognition) ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
