Are you ready to make gratitude a seamless part of your day? These five tips will help you show your appreciation faster and with greater impact.
Tip #1: Use the mobile app
With the Thnks mobile app for iOS and Android, you can send thoughtful gestures anytime, anywhere. You can even deliver your Thnks via SMS.
Whether you're between meetings, traveling, or just away from your desk... the app makes it easy to keep the momentum going. With the mobile app, the powerful features of Thnks are always in your pocket.
Tip #2: Send faster by connecting your accounts
Manually copying and pasting email addresses slows you down and increases the chance of mistakes. By connecting accounts in the web and mobile apps, you can select recipients right from your saved contacts. No need to switch tabs or second-guess spelling.
To connect contacts on web or mobile:
Web

The Thnks Web App on your desktop offers you a connect mailbox feature. To connect your email contacts:

Your contacts are connected! Now, you can start typing a name or email, and matching contacts will show up automatically. You can connect an email account for more connected contacts, or select “Finish” to continue sending your Thnks.
To send a Thnks to someone who is not in your phone contacts, simply type the recipient's email address into the search bar and click “Continue.”
💡 Thnks does not view or store your contact information.
Tip #3: Build your go-to sending flow
Make sending Thnks faster and more personal by streamlining your setup. With just a few quick steps, you can save time and add a personal touch every time you send.
Favorite your most used Thnks
Do you have a go-to Thnks you send often? Mark it as a favorite to access it quickly the next time you log in. No more searching or scrolling.
To favorite a Thnks:
Browse or search for a Thnks you'd like to save
Click or tap the heart icon next to the Thnks
That Thnks will now appear in your “Favorites” section for easy access
Favoriting works on both the web and mobile apps, and you can update your favorites anytime.
Create message templates
Save time while keeping your messages thoughtful. Creating message templates allows you to send consistent, on-brand messages without rewriting them every time.
To create a message template:
Select the Thnks you’d like to send, and enter your recipient information
Write your custom message in the text box
Click the “Save as template” button in the bottom right-hand corner of the text box
Once created, templates will be available every time you send a Thnks — just choose one from the drop-down titled “Message” and personalize it as needed.
💡 You can create different templates for different occasions, like welcome messages, thank-you notes, or follow-ups.
Tip #3: Send a Thnks to multiple recipients at once
Sometimes, the same thoughtful gesture is a great fit for more than one person… whether you're recognizing a group, thanking teammates, or helping several people celebrate a similar milestone. Thnks makes it easy to send the same item to multiple recipients in just a few steps.
From a desktop, you can enter as many names or email addresses as you'd like.* In the mobile app, just select recipients from your Contacts, then choose the Thnks you'd like to send.
You will have the choice of creating personalized messages for each individual recipient or creating one message for all of your recipients.
Looking to send something one person can share with their whole team? Check out our “For The Team” category for group-friendly options, like Coffee For The Team!
*You can add up to 50 recipients at a time. If you are on a Team-level account or higher and sending to more than 50 recipients, we recommend using our Bulk Sending feature.

Tip #4: Schedule Thnks to ensure you never miss a moment
Want your Thnks to land at just the right moment? Whether you're planning ahead, have upcoming time off, or simply don’t want to forget… you can schedule your Thnks to be sent on any future date and time.
To schedule a Thnks:
Choose the Thnks you’d like to send
Enter the recipient(s) and add a personalized message
On the final confirmation page, select “Schedule for later” from the “To be sent” field
Enter your desired date and time (Note: this will be in your local time zone)
Select your preferred payment method

💡 Your card will be charged when the Thnks is sent, not when you schedule it.
