Notify (Send an Announcement)

As a Campus Cloud administrator, you can make announcements by sending push notifications.  Push notifications appear on students' phones, like a text message. You can send to individual students, lists of students, or all students campus-wide.

To create an announcement:

• Click "Notify" then click “Create New Announcement.”
• To send the announcement to all students, turn on the “Campus Wide” toggle.
• Or, type the name of the recipients in the “To” field.
• Select the type of notification (regular, urgent or emergency) from the Type drop-down menu (*).
• Select a host (a club or a group) as the sender of the message.
• Type the subject and the text of the message.
• Click “Send.”

You can also send an announcement to a list of users:

• First, create the list of students to send to. See Create a List of Students.
• Then, go to Notify and click “Create New Announcement.”
• In the “To” field, use the drop-down menu to select “Lists.”
• Type the name of your list and select it.
• Select the type of notification and select a host as the sender of the message.
• Type the subject and the text of the message.
• Click “Send.”

(*) Sending an emergency message requires the “Emergency Announcement” permission.  If you cannot select “Emergency” as the type of your announcement, contact your Campus Cloud administrator to request permission.
