Send messages to multiple recipients

Have you ever wanted to send a message to multiple groups? Or maybe to a group plus a couple other people? You now can!

When sending a new message you can now choose multiple recipients. This can include segments like "All members" or "All women", groups like shepherding groups or Bible studies, or even just individual members. You can mix and match recipients however you want.

And there's more! Have you ever wanted to send a message to everyone, but exclude one or two people? Maybe you're arranging a surprise birthday party for your pastor and don't want him or his wife to see the message. Well you can now add message "exclusions".

To do this first select the segment or group you want to send the message to, like "Everyone". Next, click the people count beside the "Send to" label and you'll see a list of everyone who is going to be included on the message. Beside each person you'll see an "Exclude" button. Click that button to make sure those members aren't included on the message you send out.

We're really excited about this feature and believe it makes the messaging feature in Church Social even more powerful. Enjoy!
