Messaging Your Organization

Crimson Connection allows you to send e-mails or text messages to your entire membership roster or subsets of your membership.

These e-mails can sent via any mail platform, and can include links and attachments (they can even be HTML newsletters!). These emails can take up to one hour to send, so please plan accordingly.

The test SMS messages will ONLY be sent if your organization member has updated their contact information under their personal account and included a phone number.
