Sending Announcements
Keep contributors updated with email announcements about the board or the recipient's progress.
When to Send Announcements
Announcements are great for:
- Deadline reminders - "Only 3 days left to add your message!"
- Status updates - "Sarah is out of surgery and recovering well!"
- Thank yous - "The board was a huge hit! Thank you all!"
- Extension notices - "We've extended the deadline by one week"
How to Send
- Go to your board's management page
- Click "Send Announcement"
- Write your message
- Preview how it will look
- Click "Send to all contributors"
Who Receives Announcements
Announcements are sent to everyone who has contributed to the board and provided an email address. Contributors who didn't provide an email won't receive the announcement.
Best Practices
- Keep it brief - A few sentences is usually enough
- Be positive - Focus on good news and gratitude
- Don't over-send - One or two announcements is typical
- Include action items - If you want people to add more content, say so clearly
Email preview
Always preview your announcement before sending. You can't unsend an email once it's out!
