You are able to send a mass message to a specific group of guests by selecting conversations in the inbox.
First, you will need to create a canned response. This comes with an advantage, since with canned responses you can include short codes and custom codes. This allows you to still have a personal touch to messages sent as a one-off batch.
You can read steps to create a canned response.
Once the canned response is created, you can proceed to sending this canned response as a "batch" to guests that you are selecting.
- Go to the Inbox
- Click on "+ Filter" to narrow down the conversations to the group you wish to send a message to. You may also select conversations individually and skip to step 4.
