Automatic messages go out when something happens (for example a participant submits or an evaluator is invited). Once your program is live, you'll also want to send your own updates to groups of people.
Messaging Workflow
You can send messages from a round's Participants, Submissions or Evaluators tab, or from Gear icon → Users.
Step 1: Filter
Search by name or keyword.
Use the quick filters (for example Tracks, Tags, Evaluators, Read Status, Status) or + More filters. Examples: qualified participants, people who signed up but didn't submit, people with multiple submissions, unassigned evaluators.
In Submissions, use Advanced to filter by answers to form questions.
Step 2: Select
Tick the people or submissions you want, or tick the box in the header to select all results.
Step 3: Send
Click the Send Message (envelope) icon.
Write your email.
Add short codes (for example the person's name) to personalise it.
Click Send.
Checking What Was Sent
Go to Gear icon → Email History to see every email sent from the platform, with the receiver, subject, content, date and delivery status. CC recipients aren't shown.
Attachments
Upload the file somewhere people can open it, then put a link in your message.
