How do I use broadcast messages?

 

Broadcast Messages are a great way for Admins to share important updates or reminders with poolies. These messages appear to poolies each time they log in, before they can view their standings. Messages stay visible until the expiry date set by the Admin or until the Admin deletes them.

Steps for Admins to Create a Broadcast Message:

  1. Go to the "Admin" menu.

  2. Click on the "Messaging" tab.

  3. Select "Broadcast Message" from the sub-menu.

  4. In the "Expires" field, choose the date you want the message to stop displaying.

  5. Type your message in the message box.

  6. Click "Save".

After saving, you’ll be prompted with an option to also email the message to your poolies:

  • Click "Yes" to email the message. It will be sent to poolies whose OfficePools account email matches the one listed in their Team Details.

  • Click "No" if you prefer to show the message only at login.

 

Broadcast Messages are perfect for deadline reminders, rule changes, or prize updates.
