FAQ
How do I send to just 1 or 2 channels? Leave the channel empty if you do not want to send a message to that channel. For example: To send to Text & Email only: you'll leave the App Message Subject & App Message empty and therefore no message will be sent to the app; however, the message will send via text & email.
What if a member doesn't have the app or use SMS Text? We will attempt to send to all non-empty channels. If a user does not use SMS texting or the App, they will still receive the email message.
Can I use a template? Yes, you can use a template for emails. Click on “Choose Template” and select which template you would like to use.
Can I create my own template? Yes, you can create a template directly in the Multi Channel Messaging or through email templates. Complete the Email subject and Email Message, then at the bottom enter a “Template Name” and click on “Save Template”.
