Getting started

Send a group message

Send a message to every member of a group from the Groups page in your location dashboard. You can also attach images, video, audio, and PDFs.

Before you start

A group must already exist before you can send a message. If your location has no groups yet, create one first.

Send a message to an existing group

  1. In your location dashboard, open Groups from the left sidebar.

  2. Select the Chat tab.

  3. Click the group you want to message from the list on the left. The chat area on the right shows the group header and any existing messages.

  4. Click the composer at the bottom of the chat area. The placeholder reads Type your message here....

  5. Type your message, then click Send.
