How to send messages

Two forms of messaging are available through the roster tool. At the top of the roster page, select "Messaging." Members will need access to the Messaging tool in Get Involved.

Send relay (email) messages

1. Under the "Relays" tab, click the "+" icon on the right.
2. Create a title – this is just an internal title and does not show in the message.
3. Select who you want to send to, then click the "Create" button.
4. Copy the unique email address and paste it into your prefered email provider.
   Example: e9f9fef0-9be2-472a-5066-ffa138a49162@relay.engage.campuslabs.com
   This email address can only be used for 24 hours.
5. Draft the message and send.

The email will come from the email account you used to send and all replys will go back to that account. This tool is great for newsletters and announcements. 

Send text messages

Text messages can be sent only if the members have added their cell phone number into their profile.

1. Under the "Text (SMS)" tab, click the "Send Text (SMS)" button.
2. Select the positions or members you want to message. 
3. Enter the body of text, then hit "Send."
4. The next page will show a list with a status of the message. Messages may take a few minutes to send.
