Write to all or part of your members from Benevolus. The message arrives as a notification on their phone and by email, and nobody can unsubscribe from it: keep this channel for operational matters.
You must be a coordinator of the organisation, or higher.

The Communications tab and the message history

2

Write your message

Give it a title, then write your message, 250 characters at most. This is the format of a notification: get to the point.
3

Choose your recipients

Tick Whole organisation, or select one or more teams, events and posts. Someone who appears in several selections only receives one message.
Message 2

Choosing the recipients and the sending channels

4

Choose the channel

Push + email is the default: every member gets a notification if they turned them on, and an email otherwise. Email only writes to everyone by email. Push only reaches just the members who turned notifications on, so some will receive nothing.
5

Send

Click Send. The message joins the history in the Communications tab, with the number of recipients, notifications and emails sent.
You can send up to 10 messages per hour for one organisation. Beyond that, sending is refused until the hour has passed.
Your members only get the notification on their phone if they have installed the app and turned notifications on. Without that, they receive the email.
