Messaging is Available Across the Bound Platform:
Part 1: Activity Registration Sets Messenger up for Success!
Bound's Activity Registration product sets up coaches and administrators for success when it comes to messaging. During registration, the student and guardian contact information will automatically be connected to any program that student signs up for.
Coaches, Directors, Sponsors and Administrators can message students and parents from various levels within Bound, beginning from the program level of an activity. Messaging from the program level lets you communicate with all students or their parents who have signed up for that program even before the season and before they have been rostered.
Coaches, Directors, and Sponsors also have the choice to message from the team level. The group of followers at the team level would include all students and their parents rostered to that team. Lastly, your administrative team can message at the school's global level, which is found under the Student Database.
Messages are sent to the students and their family users three ways.
They will receive their messages by email.
If they put their phone number in their Bound account profile they will receive a text message.
If they are logged into the Bound App they will also receive a message notification in their app.
Messages are a one way, secure communication that does not share recipient information with others on the message. However, a recipient can return an email to the sender of the message.

Part 2: Create Custom Groups in Bound for Messaging
Bound allows you to create custom groups at the program level, the team level and from your entire student database. Some presets are already available, however, feel free to create custom groups to meet your needs.
If coaches, Directors, sponsors and administrators are added to the system they can also be put in a custom group that allows you to message your entire staff at one time from the school level under the Student Database. This is primarily available to the Activities Office Staff that have permissions for the Student Database.

Set Up Your Camps in Bound:
Do you offer camps at your school? Harness the power of having one hub for your community to find all of their sports information, tickets, scores and stats. Now they can see the camps you are offering at your school and get signed up.
Bound camps offers comprehensive reporting including all participants, guardians, t-shirt sizes, and offers a messaging tool. We collect camp fees on our secure portal through electronic payment.
We accommodate one payee per camp but can accommodate multiple payees across the camp platform. Now your booster clubs, or your development office can also receive their fees through our system.
