With Almabase’s Text Communication feature, you can easily send personalized text messages to specific groups, manage recipients, and track delivery and responses—all in one place.

Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Navigate to Text Communications
From your admin panel, navigate to the Tools section and click on Text Communication. Don’t see the option? Just reach out to your CSM and they’ll help you get it enabled.

Step 2: Choose your audience
The Text Communication modal will open.
Pick a communication group from your existing Data Studio or invitee groups. Need a new group? Click Create group and follow the steps to set one up in Data Studio.

Step 3: Set up the basics
Select your registered number in the From field, give your message an internal name, and choose a category—like Event Invite, Gift Appeal, or Gift Acknowledgment.

Step 4: Craft your message
Write your message. You can personalize it using merge tags or include special links if needed.

Step 5: Review and schedule
Once you’re happy with your message, decide whether to send it right away or schedule it for later.

That’s it—you’re ready to start engaging your community through text messages on Almabase!
