Messaging

Here you have the option to send messages to your E-notes groups directly from the app, or to create Emergency Alerts to be displayed on your website.



Emergency Alerts

Here you will have the option to create an Emergency Alert which will display as a dialogue box on your website that must be acknowledged before your site viewers can navigate through the rest of the site. This is useful for weather announcements, school closings, etc. and can be linked to procedure pages you've created for the purpose.



Just as you would when logged into the site you will give your Emergency Alert a title, a message as well as a a start and end date/time for when it will be displayed on the website. You can also choose to post to your social media accounts at the same time by selecting the appropriate slider.

    

When you are satisfied with your alert click "Create" in the upper right-hand corner.



Notifications

The next option in Messaging is "E-notes", the notification area where you can send notifications from lists you've created on your website.
Please note: if you are not using E-note Pro or E-notes Voice you will not have access to this section.



Clicking on "E-notes" will take you to a list of the e-note groups you have created or have access to.



To send a message, click on the group name that you want to send the message to. You will then be able to choose which type of message you want to send: e-mail, text, voice, or an app notification.



These are the same options you would have when logged into the website. You can choose to send the message when you are creating it, or to schedule it to send later. You can also choose to send your message to everyone in the e-note group, or to individual subscribers.

        


Once you have finished creating your message, chosen recipients, and decided when the message should go out: click SEND in the upper right hand corner.



Text notifications may also be published to Social Media accounts by selecting which account you want to publish to in the area beneath where you choose subscribers. Note: Make this selection before you click SEND.
