Assigning Broadcast Messages to Employees

Assigning employees to a Broadcast Message is done from the Employee Information Screen. To use this feature, you must select one or multiple employees using the checkboxes provided and then select the Communicate button.



If sending an Email, toggle Send Email Communication.  If sending an SMS, toggle Send SMS Communication.






Within the pop-up, you can manually create a message using your own wording and the provided system tags if needed. If you have created templates, this is where you would select to apply them. Once a template is selected and applied, you will still have the option to edit the text or enable/disable communication methods and also enable the iCalendar attachment.

***When enabling Send as Appointment, you must set the When/From/To parameters for the appointment.



When sending out a Broadcast Message to employees, the option to specify when to send (Date and Time) the message is available in the Schedule section. Please be aware that selecting to Send as of will create a new template so that the message can be sent out at a certain date/time. This template should not be deleted until the specified date/time has been reached and the message(s) have been sent.



When ready, if scheduling Send Immediately, select the Send button and the message will go out to the recipient(s).
