GroupValet has three different messaging options.
The first two, the Group Message Center and the Group Wall, are only available on our website, groupvalet.com, and not in the app. Both are on the Group Homepage, in the left sidebar. Depending on your group's settings, each will either be in your group's main menu or under "Managers Only" where only managers can see it.
To get to the Group Homepage, log into groupvalet.com, click on the "My Groups" tab, scroll down to your group and click the button that says "Go to Group Homepage".
Group Message Center
The Message Center allows you to send a message out to the full group, selected individuals, or a segment of the group. You can create your own segment - some examples might be:
- Just those members who are signed up for next week's activity
- Just those who declined for an activity
- Just those who haven't responded for an activity
The message can contain images or links, and you can schedule it to go out later.
The message is sent to those you select. If a member responds to the message, their response will only go to you.
Group Wall
The Wall allows your group members to have conversations that everyone can be a part of. When a member posts to the Wall, everyone in the group will get the post, unless they have turned off wall notifications in their Profile. Other members are able to reply right from their email and the replies will be sent to everyone in the group. This can be useful if a member needs a partner, or a ride to an activity.
Wall posts can contain links, images, videos and PDFs.
Send a Group Email
On the Group Directory page you'll see a long email address with a copy icon next to it. You can copy and paste this email into your personal email program and that will send an email to everyone who is a member of the group. As people are added/removed from the group, this email address will automatically include/exclude them.
