Announcements can be configured at the **client level**, ensuring that only the relevant users receive them. For example, if a realm contains 10 applications, administrators can choose to publish announcements for only 2 applications, each with its own tailored message. This provides a centralized and reliable way to share critical changes, system updates, policy modifications, or general notifications in real time—without relying on external communication channels. By enabling application-specific announcements, ZTrust ensures that users stay informed with the right information at the right time, while giving administrators fine-grained control over communication. **Configuring the Announcement Feature:** 1. Log in to the ZTrust Admin Console.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://ztrust.gitbook.io/ztrust-documentation/user-manual-ztrust-v4.1/4.-admin-manual/4.12-announcement-feature.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
