Mailing the community
Contact fellow community members by email to give them the latest community news. You must be a member of a community to mail members of that community.
To send email to the community, email must be configured to display in the deployment. If the administrator has disabled email for the deployment, the Mail Community option does not display.
We can send email to other community members directly from your community. There is no limit on the number of people that we can email, however, we cannot specify individual members of the community as recipients. You must send the notification to all community members or community owners only. Choosing the option to send the notification to all community members means the email is also sent to community owners.
We cannot send emails to groups.
- From the community's Overview page, select Community Actions > Mail Community.
You must be logged in to Communities to access the Community Actions menu.
- Do one of the following.
- To send the notification using the default email client, click Click to compose using the default email client.
- To use the email form provided:
- Specify the recipients of the email.
- To send the message to everyone in the community, select Owners and Members.
- To send the message to community owners only, select Owners Only.
- Enter a title for the message in the Subject field. The title is prefixed by the name of the community by default.
- Type the content of the message in the Message field and click Send.
