Introduction

The messages feature allows you to send notifications to your store employees as well as receive and keep track of responses. The next time an employee logs into the software, they will see a notification alert and be able to view any messages sent to them.

Depending on an employee's permissions, they will be able to answer a message or they will only be able to view the information. For an employee with the correct permissions, sending a message follows the same steps as below. For more information on employee permissions see the documentation here.

The messages feature can be found in the left menu:

Create a Message

To send a message to an employee or multiple employees, navigate to the Messages main feature page.

The page automatically opens to your message inbox. Click the New Message button in the top right of the page.

On the Message information page, you can select the employees you wish to contact and fill out the message you want to send.

Employees
To send an email to All employees, select the checkbox.

If you only want to send the message to select employees, click in the employee's field to see a drop-down of available employees. Select the applicable employees from the dropdown. You can select multiple employees by clicking in the field again and selecting from the dropdown again.

If you accidentally selected the wrong employee, simply hit the X to the left of their name to remove them.

Message
Here you can type the body of the message for your employees.

When you have finished with the message, select Send in the bottom right. You cannot undo sending a message so be sure to proofread before sending. After sending a message you will be brought to the outbox page where you can see sent messages.
