Hoe kan ik massacommunicatie leveren aan gebruikers of categorieën operators?

Question

The guide explains how to use the InfoComm service, which allows to deliver communications through different channels - such as in the widget, in the toolbar or via email. The service also allows to send messages to categories of users.

Nick · Accepted Answer

The application InfoComm (Messaging to users) allows to:

Send mass communications to different users in one click
Forward messages through different channels - such as a widget alert, a toolbar notification or an email message
Contact categories of users that are automatically generated (for example according to the reference structure, to the type of career, to custom groups, etc..)

If you are trying to send a a notification to a single individual, we suggest you to use the service Notification Center instead.

Access the application

From the sidebar menu, under Cloud Services, select InfoComm (Messaging to Users).

You will be provided with a panel that shows the communications you have already sent, or all the communications ever sent according to your permissions in the application.

Forward a new communication

From the main page, click on the New Request button to open the creation page.

Overview

The panel is divided into three different sections. On the upper-left, the page requires some information about the method and recipients of the communication; on the upper-left you will automatically be provided with the list of users according to the selected categories, and in the lower part you will see the required fields for the type of channel you selected.
