Send an announcement

There are two ways to tell members something:

	Announcements	Mass Email
Where members see it	In the members’ app	In their email inbox
Who gets it	Everyone using the app	Paying members you choose with filters
Formatting	Plain text	Headings, bold, links, lists, first names
Timing	Shows between a start and end date	Sent straight away
Role needed	Announcements (read and write)	Mass email

Post an announcement in the app

1. Open Community → Announcements.
2. Choose the Start Date and End Date.
3. Type the Message.
4. Click Create Announcement.

It shows in the members’ app from the start date to the end date. To change it, delete it and post a new one.

Email a group of members

1. Open Community → Mass Email.
2. Set the filters, for example Membership type “Kids”, and click Find members.
3. Check the list. Untick anyone who shouldn’t get it.
4. Write a Subject and the email.
5. Click Send me a test and check it.
6. Click Send to N people…, tick I have checked the list and sent myself a test, and click Send to N.

Tip

For something important, like a closure, do both: post an announcement for app users and send a mass email to paying members.
