How to send a message
Connect makes it easy to communicate with the members within your organization. To send a message to your members, first decide who you would like to email.
Send a message to a group
If you would like to send an email to a specific group of members:
- Click the Groups link in the white bar at the top of the page
- Select the group you want to message and click New Message to compose a message to that group.
- If you are in the Members tab, you can use the drop down menu to filter by group. Once a group is selected, you can click New Message to draft to compose to that group.
Send a message to multiple groups
You can also send your message to multiple groups. In the To field, start typing the name of a group to display the groups that match what you typed. Select your choice. Continue with your message.

Send a message to all members
If you would like to email all members in your organization, click the Members link in the white bar and click New Message (by default, All Members are added to the new message unless a group is specified in the drop down).
Sending an Email vs. Sending a Text
The default method via which members will receive your messages is via email. Once your organization has turned on texting, you'll also have the option to send your messages via text.
When you send a message via email and text, your members will receive the message via whichever format(s) they are subscribed to receive it.
