With email, Church Center announcements, and text messages, Lists is a communication hub for your Church. However, we know it’s often a challenge to reach exactly the right audience with Lists. In the past, you were required to send a message to everyone on the list with no ability to include or exclude specific people.
To give you more flexibility, we’ve introduced the ability to select profiles on a list to communicate with. This is handy when you know particular people might be on vacation and want to exclude them, or if you’re planning a surprise for someone and don’t want them to receive the same messages as everyone else.
To use this feature, simply open up a Lists Results screen and start selecting profiles. Here are a few additional details:
- When you send an email, Church Center announcement, or text message, it will only be delivered to the people you selected.
- Bulk actions will also only apply to selected profiles.
- If no profiles are selected, communications and bulk actions will continue to apply to the entire list, as they do now.
- The Print and Export options apply to the entire list, so they are disabled when multi-selecting.
As always, we hope this has a real impact on your processes and makes communicating just a little bit easier.
