Cherry-picking Select People for Email Communication
When sending to pre-defined groups only is not sufficient for your needs, you can compile a list of people by selecting individuals and add them into the email form to send. This will also allow you to select the "Adults in Household" option so you don't need to select them directly to add them to the email. For example, if you are on a team roster and only need to communicate to a few specific families, then you can select those Particpants and include all the adults, so that you don't need to go and find the parents to include in the email.
You can cherry-pick emails from these interfaces:
- REPORTS > TEAMS > [Specific team or subteam]
- REPORTS > DIRECTORY
- REPORTS > STAFF
Steps to send a cherry-picked email:
- Go to one of the interfaces in list above
- Use the check box in the left column to select the people
- Click on SELECT PEOPLE TO EMAIL button on the top of the list
- On the review page, you will see a list of all the people you selected
- If you want to include the household adults, check the box INCLUDE HOUSEHOLD ADULTS ON EMAIL
- Click APPLY
Now you are on the standard email form with the selected people complied in the ADD ADDITIONAL EMAILS field.
NOTE: You can still select other groups to add to this email or just leave the email in the box. If you were to select groups as well and one of the emails in the selected group exists, don't worry! All emails are deduplicated in the sending process so people will not receive duplicate emails.
