Byga Messaging (email based) on Web

Web App: Layout

The interface provides many of the standard functions for creating an email. Users can send Byga Messages to recipient’s email clients (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).


Web App: Composing Message and Selecting Recipients

Click on the New Email button to start composing a message. In addition, if users are within various portions of the app (e.g., a team, an event), clicking on the Byga message icon will automatically populate the relevant recipients.

  1. Users can manually add recipients via the search menu from their teams and groups
    1. Users can add any club recipient list they have permission to message (shown on the left panel).
  2. Recipients can either be on the To: or Bcc: line.
  3. By default, when sending a Byga message only an email is sent. The sender can specify that the message is time sensitive. Only if this is done will a mobile alert also be sent to recipients.
    1. Note, recipients may separately get mobile alerts from their email client (e,.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) if they have notifications set up for their email client.
  4. Save as Draft: Message drafts can be saved in the Drafts tab
  5. Admin features:
    1. Save as Template: frequently used messages along with their recipient lists can be saved in the Templates tab
    2. Admin Only Feature: Users with the Use Club Emails permission can make the Reply To as one of the Club Emails configured in the Club’s General Settings → Emails.
