How to broadcast messages to all users of a site using the Message Composer.

In the Admin Panel, a new Messages tab has been introduced, giving you access to the Message Composer:

Selecting the sender

When you broadcast a message, you need to pick a sender. This can be any of the activated services which have broadcasting capabilities, such as Deals or Emergency Notifications.

When the message is received in the user's inbox on Workwell, it will appear as if it was sent by the service:

Composing the message

The text editor accepts plain text, headings and images.

Headings

To create a heading, hover the mouse over the editor region. You will see a menu appearing on the right. Click it to reveal the heading button:
