Send message to all or selected group members

You may have noticed the new group feature, which allows the group administrators to send messages to group members.



On the following message form, there are then links to add all fellow administrators, moderators and/or members as recipients.

But what you may not know or noticed yet, is that you can also choose selected recipients. All members of the group are then "your contacts". There "you" means you as a group administrator. This is why you can add also group members as recipients, even if they are not your personal contacts.

Start writing the name onto recipient field, and the system then suggest names of the group members. This is better way to add recipients especially if there are hundreds of members in the group, and you wish to send message to only some of them. Alternatively you can add all members, and then start to exclude people, but it would then become much more time consuming.

P.S. Do notice you can not use this feature to contact non-members. So, if there are for example contributions by former members, you have to contact them separately, if need to.
