Recipient Groups
A group of conversations you can message
Recipient groups allow you to pre-select conversations so that you can quickly configure a message of any type for delivery.
To create a recipient group:
Head to the Nightowl app home – make sure you are on the
Home
tab.Navigate to the
Recipient Groups
section and click 👥New
button.Choose to either select conversations or enter a list of IDs.
Select conversations
Provide a name for the recipient group.
Optional
Enter one or more conversations to BCC.
When more than one conversation is selected, semicolons will be used as delimiters to display the recipients after the message is created.
E.g. a message to separately selected DM recipients @Jack, @Jill, and @Jen will show as
BCC: @Jack; @Jill; @Jen
whereas selecting a group DM between you, @Jack, and @Jill in addition to a separately selected DM with @Jen will appear asBCC: @Jack, @Jill; @Jen
.To convert the conversations to distinct users, check the box.
