The AdminPlus Notify interface and the Send Notifications screen is divided into three areas. This is where you can select the type of notification you want to send, draft your notification, and view selected recipients. You can manage previously sent notifications, add recipients to your notification, save a list of recipients to contact at a later date and send your notification using the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Prerequisites
Before you can send messages from AdminPlus Notify, you must first install, activate, and configure the service. For more information, see Install and Activate AdminPlus Notify and Configure AdminPlus Notify for the First Time.
The following diagram illustrates the main features of the Send Notifications screen.
