How do I send an email blast to all residents?

There are two primary methods for communicating with all residents of your community site: the homepage Message Center link or the Admin Messaging Module. While both are effective, the Admin area is recommended for formal communications as it provides advanced features like file attachments, targeted recipient lists, and a comprehensive delivery archive for each user.

How to Create and Send a New Email Blast

1. Log into the site with an administrator account and navigate to Administer Site.
2. In the left-hand menu, click Modules and select Messaging
3. Click the Create Message button to open the email editor.
4. Fill out all required fields, including the subject line and the body of your message.
5. Optional: You may attach up to five documents to your email, provided the total size does not exceed 5MB.
6. Click the Save button to proceed.
7. Quality Check: It is highly recommended that you click the Preview link on the following page to review the layout before clicking the Send button.

Why Use the Admin Messaging Module?

• File Attachments: Easily share newsletters, financial reports, or meeting minutes directly in the resident's inbox.
• Targeted Recipient Lists: Rather than emailing everyone, you can send targeted blasts to specific Custom Groups (e.g., Board Members only or a Social Committee).
• Communication History: Access an archive of all emails sent to ensure a transparent record of community communication.
• Professional Templates: Apply pre-designed Email Templates to ensure a consistent look and feel for recurring updates.
