OverviewSpecial Email Groups allow you to save a group of residents to a contact list. This makes it easy to email a specific group of people without needing to select each individual resident every time you send an email. The Special Email Groups at your building could include "Yoga Class," or "Financial Committee," to name just a couple examples. If you'd like to create a dynamic list of people that pulls from real-time custom field data (Ex. All residents who have pets in their units), see our Filtered Groups page instead. |
