Send a Message to a Member
Send a message
Open the member from the Members list.
Click the Messages tab.
Click Compose.
In the recipient selector, choose the member’s or a linked contact’s email address or phone
number. You can also type an email address or phone number and press Enter.
Click Templates if you want to start from a saved template, or
write the message from scratch.
Enter a Subject when sending email. The subject field is not needed for SMS.
Write your message in the content editor.
Optionally, set Send at to schedule the message. The date and time use the school’s time
zone; leave the field blank to send immediately.
Click Send (or Schedule, if you set a send time).
The conversation appears both on this member’s Messages tab and in the school-wide
Inbox.
Type {{ in the subject or content editor to insert a placeholder, like the member’s first name.
See Message Placeholders for the full list.
The Receive Communications contact setting does not prevent you from selecting that contact
for this individual message. It is used when linked contacts are included in program or group
broadcasts; those broadcasts include contacts whose Receive Communications or Can Manage
setting is on. A member-scoped message is not a broadcast.Search terms:
