This tool provides you with the ability to send messages to all of your text members, or to some members based on City and/or Zip Code. They can be send out ASAP, or at a set date and time of your choice.
The default signature set up through the "Auto Responders" tool can be included with your message.
For more information on the "Auto Responder" tool, click here.
The number of members the message will be sent to will display in here.
Clicking the "Schedule Blast" button with the "Schedule now" option selected will send the message to the members ASAP, so you will need to make sure everything you typed out in the message is correct before you send it out.
Scheduled or previously-sent messages will be listed in this tool.
Scheduled messages that have not been sent out to members yet can be managed and tweaked in the tool at any time.
