GROUP MEMBERSHP | DISTRIBUTION LISTS
Every group has the ability to create distribution lists. Distribution lists in Convos allow members to send a personal message to a subset of group members. This is particularly useful if you have a large group and want members to be able to contact a specific group of members. These messages are from the individual sender and do not appear in the Group Messages module (as they may not be relevant to everyone in the group).
By default, every group has a distribution list for "Everyone". When a message is sent to this distribution list, it goes to everyone in the group, it shows up in the Group Messages module, and the reply to is set to the group email address.
Add a Distribution List
To add a new distribution list, click the "+" button at the bottom of the window.
A pop-up will open displaying a list of the current members in the left section.
Give your distribution list a name and use the ">" to select which members should be included on this distribution list
Give your distribution list a description in the Notes section so you can remember why you set the list up.
Click "Save" and your distribution list will be saved.
Now, when you click the "TO" or CC" buttons in a new group message, you can select Everyone or any of the distribution lists you have setup.
Edit a Distribution List
From the Pending Members tab, click the distribution list you would like to edit. Then, click the "Edit" button. The same window you used to setup the distribution list (see above) will be displayed.
From here you can edit the distribution list and click "Save" when you are done.
The updated distribution list will be reflected in your list of distribution lists.
Remove a Distribution List
To remove a distribution list, simply click the distribution list in your distribution lists tab and click the "-" button.
The distribution list will be removed from the list and will no longer be accessible to members in the group messages module.
