What are Quickfire Newsflashes?
Quickfire Newsflashes help you and your team make announcements on the fly, without having to trigger the Newsflash with a Metric update or some other integration. For example, a sales rep can thank the SDRs for helping them close a deal, or the CSMs can give a shout-out to the product team for releasing a cool new feature!
Configuring a Quickfire Newsflash

In the Configure tab, click Quickfire Newsflashes under Newsflashes in the left nav. Alternatively, click the Newsflashes tile and then Quickfire Newsflashes tile.
