Sending announcements

Short messages to your members — in the app, as a push notification and optionally by email. With multilingual text, attachments (first image becomes the cover), an optional poll and audience targeting.

Announcements are short messages you send to your members. They appear in the mobile app, can be sent as a push notification and optionally by email too. You write them in multiple languages, add attachments and choose exactly who sees the message.

Where to find it

Sidebar → Communication → Announcements. Four key figures sit at the top: Active, Scheduled, Expired and Engagement (likes + comments).

Step by step: a new announcement

  1. Click New announcement at the top right.
  2. Fill in the title and the text. Language tabs sit above the form — Turkish (TR) is required; the NL, EN and AR tabs are optional, and a green dot marks which languages already have a translation.
  3. Optionally use the AI Copilot button to draft or improve the text.
  4. Set the start date and end date — outside that window the announcement is no longer active. Optionally pick a repeat interval (never, daily, weekly, monthly).
  5. Turn on Send push notification if members should get an instant alert on their phone.
  6. Choose the audience: everyone, members, and — if the education module is on — parents, teachers or both. For parents/teachers you can narrow further with a group selector (leave empty = all groups).
  7. Optionally add attachments via the uploader. The first image is used automatically as the cover.
  8. Want members to vote? Click Add poll and build a multiple-choice question.
  9. Turn on Show on public website to also place the announcement on your public organization page.
  10. Click Save.

Managing the list

  • Drag the handle icon (left) to change the order.
  • Pencil — edit. Trash — delete (with confirmation). Eye — preview.
  • Each announcement shows its number of likes and comments.
  • Use the segment buttons and search box above the list to filter by status and title; the Filter button also filters by audience.
  • Refresh (circular arrow) reloads the list.

Tips

  • Keep the text short and concrete — announcements are for a quick glance, not long letters (use a newsletter for those).
  • Only enable push for genuinely important messages, so members keep opening them.
  • Put the most important image as the first attachment — it becomes the cover.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to fill in every language? No. Only the Turkish tab is required; fill in NL, EN and AR only if you want to reach those readers.

What's the difference with a newsletter? An announcement is short and appears in-app and as push; a newsletter is a detailed, formatted email.

Does everyone get my announcement by email? Only if you choose that when sending; by default it appears in-app and optionally as push.

Troubleshooting

  • I don't see the Announcements menu. The announcements feature is off for your organization. A lead administrator enables it in the organization settings (the "announcements" feature). If you can't open the page, you're missing the "manage announcements" permission — ask a lead administrator to grant it.
  • My push notification didn't arrive. Check that the Send push notification toggle was on and that members have allowed notifications in the app.
  • The cover image is wrong. The first image in the attachments is the cover — drag the correct image to the front.
  • A platform administrator sees a warning. Announcements belong to an organization; sign in as an organization administrator.
