Group Life Communication
Authenticated group leaders and primary contacts can send a message to their entire group or selected participants.
Send an Email
You can send an email with attachments to all or select recipients. Emails are sent by and logged in the Platform. If a participant doesn't have an email address, they do not display as an eligible recipient.
Note: If you're using a proxy email, replies may be sent to that proxy if the email provider doesn't honor explicit "reply to" settings.
- In Group Life, open your group.
- Click the Participants tab, and select the people to send the message to.
- From the Select an action drop-down list, select Send message.
- Select Email.
- Confirm the Recipients.
- Enter a Subject Line and Message.
- If needed, click the Attachments tab, and upload the file(s).
- When you're ready, click Send.
Send a Text Message
- You must have a Twilio integration set up in MinistryPlatform.
- The Administrators security role must have a value greater than zero for Mass Text Quota.
- There must be information in the SMS Number field on the Group record. We recommend you configure your outbound SMS Numbers then update your Group records. Multiple groups can use the same phone number for outbound texting.
You can send a text message (limited to 160 characters) to all or selected recipients. Texts are sent by and logged in the Platform.
