Guild's messaging feature lets Organizers send messages directly to their Guild's Members. This is a powerful way to keep your community informed about upcoming Events, share announcements, and maintain engagement between Events.
Only Organizers can send messages to the Guild's membership. Messages are delivered as email notifications to all Members of the Guild.

When to Use Messaging
Event announcements
— Let your community know about a new or upcoming Event. While Guild automatically notifies Members about new Events, a personal message from an Organizer can provide additional context or build excitement.Community updates
— Share news about changes to the Guild, new partnerships, leadership updates, or milestones like reaching a Member count goal.Calls for speakers
— If you're looking for presenters for an upcoming Event, send a message inviting Members to submit talk proposals.Feedback requests
— Ask your community for input on topics they'd like to see covered, preferred Event formats, or venue suggestions.Best Practices
Keep messages focused and relevant to your community. Members who receive too many messages may disengage, so aim for quality over quantity. A good cadence is to message when you have something genuinely useful to share — a new Event, an important update, or a time-sensitive opportunity.
Include clear calls to action in your messages. If you're announcing an Event, link directly to the Event page. If you're requesting feedback, explain how Members can respond.
