3.23 Message Page

CNB > Message A / DM / M

Message tab has 3 options to choose from, which appears when hovered on “Message” tab: Send an SMS, MESSAGE Logs and Client MESSAGE.

All incoming and outgoing SMS’s (or automated emails if configured in crews’ pages) are logged here. This log can be opened either by clicking on the “Message” or hovering on “Message” then selecting “MESSAGE Logs” which are the same page.

Type your message in the text box “SMS Message” and find crew name or names (can be sent to multiple crew at once) double click on them or click “>>” to move the names to the right side. Then click “Send”.

If the crew that the message needs to be sent is disabled then select “Search Disabled Crew” or leave it “Search Active Crew”.
Select the Business that crew is assigned to. A group of crew can be searched (and messaged) by their skills as well.

For example if you need to send a common message to all your drivers select “Driver” in the skill list, which will bring up the crew list with only “Driver” skill assigned, select all crew in the list move them to the right by clicking “>>”, then send your message.
