How to Send Messages

There are two important articles to read on this topic.

  1. The first is Selecting Your Audience and Channels.
  2. The second is Sending or Scheduling Your Bulletin.

Additionally, it's important to understand what a Bulletin is. In GovDelivery, a bulletin is the message sent to subscribers. To send a message, you must create a bulletin and choose the topics it will cover. Topics are the "lists" of subscribers. Subscribers can join these lists themselves or be added by topic administrators. Therefore, messages are not sent to individual users but to all subscribers of the relevant topics. For more details, please refer to the articles above.
