What you’ll do

Broadcasts are one-time messages you write: a rain-day notice, a seasonal offer, a price change. They are separate from automated messages and from Mailchimp campaigns.

Do this

  1. 1

    Message Center → Broadcasts → + New broadcast

    The counter shows sends left today (100 per day).

  2. 2

    Choose channel and recipients

    Email or text (texts require Customer broadcasts to be on in Settings). Pick all active customers or filter by group; opted-out contacts are skipped automatically.

  3. 3

    Write it

    Subject and body for email, or a short text. Use placeholders for the customer’s name.

  4. 4

    Send now or schedule

    Scheduled broadcasts wait under Scheduled; unfinished ones under Drafts. Sent shows every broadcast with recipient count and date, including the automated sends Zentive made for you.
