Once Groups is selected navigate to the Member Groups Tab and select add to choose whichever groups should receive this message when a member of the group is added to a ticket.
Best Practices
Oftentimes, it is a good idea to establish a general format for writing messages to increase your Staff’s ability to easily understand communicated messages. For instance, if a Member has a food allergy, use, “Attn: Dining - Food Allergy” to preface the message. Or for All Employee messages, include that it is an all employee message by starting the message with “Attn: All Staff” and then append the nature of the message prior to adding details - ie., Attn: All Staff - Monthly Meeting”. Using specific formats to highlight the audience as well as the topic can train staff to quickly and consistently interpret your Club’s messages.
Keep tabs on your messages to ensure they are reaching the appropriate parties. To identify whether or not a message has been viewed or delivered, open the message in CMA and review the columns next to the assigned Employees or Members.
FAQs
Q: If more than one message is assigned to an Employee/Member, will both messages display?
