This page provides message templates for organisers.
It helps to schedule these messages (e.g. via Slack) one month before a new 6-month cycle starts.

Hi all 👋 Thanks to everyone who has been taking part in Shadow Roles for the current 6-month cycle. To help others who take part in future, could I please ask that, in your final shadow session together, you complete the Shadow Role Review form below?
Hello 👋 Thanks for submitting your shadow role preferences for the upcoming 6-month cycle. We’re now trying to arrange a good facilitator for you based on your preferences. I’ll get back in touch soon 👍
Hello 👋 I have the following folks who'd like to shadow someone in INSERT_ROLE for the upcoming 6-month cycle. Any recommendations on who they could shadow?

Hello 👋 I'm starting to sort out the Shadow Roles for the upcoming 6-month cycle. INSERT_SHADOW has expressed an interest in shadowing an INSERT_ROLE. Would you be happy to facilitate that?

You may wish to discuss this with INSERT_MANAGER, as they recommended you as a facilitator. INSERT_COWORKER in INSERT_DEPARTMENT_OR_TEAM have taken part in this previously, so they might be able to share their experiences with you.
Hello 👋 INSERT_SHADOW has asked to shadow an INSERT_ROLE for the upcoming 6-month cycle, would you be happy to facilitate that? I know you've previously taken part in a Shadow Role with INSERT_PREVIOUS_SHADOW.
Amazing! Thank you 🙏 Could you please message each other to set up your first shadow session and follow the agenda in the guide.

Sorry this wasn’t your first preference. We weren’t able to find a facilitator at this time (INSERT_PREFERENCE), but we’ll hopefully find someone for the next cycle of Shadow Roles if you’re still really keen to shadow that role.
Hi INSERT_SHADOW! 👋 Thanks for submitting your shadow role preferences for the upcoming 6-month cycle. After prioritising the roles based on people’s level of interest in shadowing and their preferences, we’re not currently able to find a facilitator for your preferences, sorry! 😔 Please reach out to me directly in 3 months if you’d still be interested and we’ll check if someone might have become available 🤞
Hello 👋 As INSERT_FACILITATOR's manager, I'm just letting you know that they've agreed to facilitate in the next 6-month cycle of shadow roles for INSERT_SHADOW who asked to shadow an INSERT_ROLE.
