Leaders and Teachers who need to send urgent and important messages to all guardians can tag the Announcement as a Priority Announcement. When an Announcement is tagged as a Priority, the following is expected to happen:
- It will be sent to all notification methods (email, SMS, and push), regardless of what the user chose as his primary notification method.
- It also overrides a user's Do Not Disturb settings.
Please follow these steps:
1. Click the plus sign.
2. Click Announcement.
3. Type the title and the details of your announcement.
4. From the Delivery & Engagement panel.
5. Turn on the toggle for Priority Announcements.
6. Go back to your announcement draft and click Send, Send Later, or Preview.
Note: Priority Announcements will have the exclamation point icon on the banner
Note: You can create a Priority Announcement, which is also a Voice Broadcast, Student Broadcast, and/or Social Shared.
In the Recipient counter, A dash (–) means the segment was not selected. A zero (0) means it was selected but has no recipients. This helps you quickly confirm whether a group was intentionally excluded or has no one to notify.
