An Icebreaker Question is an inviting prompt that sparks connection and gets new members sharing as soon as they join your Mighty Network. It’s the first thing they see, designed to inspire meaningful engagement and set the tone for vibrant community interactions from day one.
Setting Up an Icebreaker Question
To create an Icebreaker Question in a specific Space within your Mighty Network, follow these steps:
Enable the Feed Feature:
Navigate to the desired Space.
Click on the gear icon to access Space settings.
Select "Space Features."
Toggle on the "Feed" feature.
Add the Icebreaker Question:
Once the Feed is enabled, you'll be prompted to add an Icebreaker Question.
Enter a simple, direct question that encourages members to share.
Examples include:
"What's one thing you want to get from a community of peers?"
"What is your #1 goal for this year?"
"Where do you want to be in five years?"
"What's one new thing you tried today? How'd it go?"
Manage the Icebreaker Question:
After adding the question, select "Manage" to preview how it appears to members.
To change the question, click "Ask a Different Question."
To remove it, turn off the Icebreaker Question feature.
Member's View of the Icebreaker Question
When new members join your Mighty Network, the Icebreaker Question is prominently featured at the top of the Space’s Feed.
New members can browse and interact with other content in the Space right away, but they’ll need to answer the Icebreaker Question before posting in the Feed. This ensures their first interaction is intentional and meaningful. The Icebreaker Question remains prominently pinned at the top of the Space’s Feed, serving as a gentle invitation to participate. Once they submit their response, the door to posting and contributing fully in the Space’s Feed opens, setting the stage for authentic connections and engagement.
