Steps — Send a Mass Notification

      1. Go to Mass Notifications → Create New.

      2. Enter a clear Title (e.g., Safety Alert — Topic — MM/DD).

      3. Compose message (concise, action‑first). Add subject for Email when prompted.

      4. Select recipients: choose Groups and/or Upload CSV.

      5. Choose methods: SMS, Email, Voice, App Push (one or many).

      6. Review recipients, content, and methods.

      7. Click Send Now (or Schedule for later).

Done. This completes the send. To confirm outcomes (delivered/failed), use Track delivery below.


Best practices

  • Clarity first: Lead with the key instruction in the first sentence.

  • Targeting: Prefer saved, maintained groups over ad‑hoc CSVs.

  • Consistency: Use a standard title format

(e.g., Safety Alert — Topic — MM/DD).

  • Testing: Keep a small Test Group and run periodic checks.
