This article features how admins can create announcements in the community.
Announcements are posts used to share important updates, news, or changes with the community. These are visible to all members and are used to highlight key information, such as event reminders, policy changes, or major developments in the association.
Announcements within the community are organized in a dedicated tab, making it easy for members to locate and access important updates.
Only admins have the ability to announce a post. When an admin posts an announcement, it sends out a real-time email to all of the members in the group you are posting this message to.
To create an announcement, once you make a post, click the box next to the "Announce this Post" option. This action designates your post as an announcement. Once this box is checked, your announcement will not only be published in the community feed but will also send an email notification real-time to all members of the community or the group.
Announcements bypass individual notification settings of members. Thus, even if they chose to opt out all emails from Tradewing in their privacy settings, they will still receive notifications and emails when announcements are sent.
This feature is particularly useful for ensuring that important updates, reminders, or changes are promptly communicated to all members. After checking the box, you can proceed with finalizing your message and clicking the "Post Now" button to completely publish your announcement.
