With the “off-hours policy,” Threema Work users only receive notifications during specified periods of time.

In the app, navigate to “Settings > Sound & Notifications > Do not disturb” (Android) or “Settings > Notifications > Off-Hours Policy” (iOS), and define your working hours. If the off-hours policy is enabled, no notifications for incoming text or voice messages will be displayed, and calls are automatically rejected.

Threema Broadcast is the tool for versatile, secure, and straightforward top-down communications.

• Use feeds and distribution lists to send messages to any number of recipients, and turn Threema into a powerful newsletter channel. While users can subscribe to and unsubscribe from feeds, you manage the recipients of distribution lists yourself.
• With bots, you can create interactive information-retrieval systems that allow your users to quickly get the answers they are looking for.
• Manage central group chats together with any number of co-administrators, and participate in the group discussion right from your PC.

Threema Broadcast is included in the Professional price plan. The number of Broadcast recipients corresponds to the number of Professional licenses. For Example: If you have 80 Professional licenses, there are 80 Threema Broadcast recipients available.

With Threema Gateway, Threema can be integrated into existing software applications. This allows companies and organizations to send, receive, and process Threema messages using their own software. Threema Gateway can be used for various purposes – the possibilities are virtually endless. Here are some real-world examples:

• Userlike enables companies to communicate with customers and employees using various channels, including Threema.
• Corona Radar, a service by Whappodo, allows Threema users to retrieve regional Corona stats right in the Threema app.
• IncaMail, Swiss Post’s secure email service, uses Threema Gateway to forward encrypted emails. For example, payslips can be received not only as secure email but also as Threema message.
• With a plugin, Threema can be used for two-factor authentication in the forum software xenForo.
• Whappodo, which also supports Threema, is a solution for customer care and broadcasting via instant messenger.

Besides the above-mentioned xenForo plugin, there are many other Open Source projects that use Threema Gateway, e.g., Grafana and Mattermost.
