Farewell boards

A leaving card the whole team can sign

Someone's last day is coming and a paper card is doing the rounds — except half the team is remote, and it's sitting in a drawer. Start an Applaudy board instead, drop the link in your team chat, and everyone signs it from wherever they are.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start the board

    Say who it's for and pick the occasion. It takes about twenty seconds, and you don't need an account.

  2. 2

    Share one link

    Drop it in your team chat or an email. Anyone who opens it can add a message, a photo or a GIF — no sign-ups, no app.

  3. 3

    Send it as a card

    When everyone has signed, email it over. It opens as a card, with the messages landing one at a time — and they can save the lot as a PDF.

Say what they actually did — a specific project, a habit, a rescue. "Thanks for everything" is warm but forgettable.

A photo from a team day out is worth three paragraphs.

Post the link on a Friday and send the board the following Thursday — people need a nudge and a deadline.

What to write on a farewell board

  • Say what they actually did — a specific project, a habit, a rescue. "Thanks for everything" is warm but forgettable.
  • A photo from a team day out is worth three paragraphs.
  • Post the link on a Friday and send the board the following Thursday — people need a nudge and a deadline.
  • Ask their closest colleague to write first. A good opening message sets the tone for everyone who follows.
