Announcements make it easy for portal admins to communicate important information with members of their portal. You can send an announcement to all educators or companies at once, or select specific recipients when you need to communicate with a particular group.
Announcements can also be scheduled, helping you prepare communications ahead of time. Recipients will receive the announcement via email and as an activity notification on the platform.
You must have the Announcements, Members, and Portal access permission on your portal role to create and manage announcements sent to companies and members of the portal. These permissions are given to portal admin roles by default.

Best practices
Target announcements when appropriate. Use bulk selection when information only applies to particular educators or companies rather than sending it to everyone.
Use scheduled announcements to plan ahead. If an announcement needs to go out at a particular time, scheduling it can help you prepare your communication in advance.
Use search to find previous announcements. The Announcements tab lets you search your sent and scheduled announcements when you need to review portal communications.
