Send SMS and emails to members directly from SportMember
When you need to reach your team quickly, there's nothing better than a direct message. With SportMember, you can send emails and SMS directly from the platform to all or selected members. You don't have to collect email addresses and phone numbers – the system already has the information and ensures that the message gets through.
Whether you need to remind about a match, inform about a cancellation, or share important information, SportMember makes it easy to reach the right people. Select recipients from a list, write your message, and send. It takes seconds, and everyone relevant gets the message immediately.
Email and SMS for teams and club members
SportMember gives you two effective communication channels. Email is perfect for longer messages with attachments, while SMS ensures that urgent messages are read immediately. You can use both directly from the app or website without switching between systems.
The system keeps track of all members' contact information. When someone updates their email or phone number, it's automatically reflected, so your messages always get through. You don't need to maintain separate contact lists.
How to send messages to the team
- Select recipients from the team – all, attending, declining, or selected players
- Write your message with subject and body text
- Attach up to three files to emails (documents, images, PDF)
- Use personal fields like name and birthday in the message
- Choose between different message types like reminder, invitation, or free text
- Send immediately or schedule for later
- See who has received and read the message
- Reply to messages directly from your own email
Why direct messages make communication better
Email and SMS get through where push notifications don't always reach. Not everyone has the app installed or notifications enabled. But everyone checks their email and reads SMS. By combining channels, you ensure that no important messages get lost.
For the coach, this means less administration. Instead of copying email addresses to your mail program, you send directly from SportMember. You can see who has received the message and send a reminder to those who haven't opened it.
SMS is particularly valuable for urgent messages. When practice is cancelled at the last minute or the meeting place changes, an SMS arrives within seconds. Players see the message immediately, even if they don't have the app open.
With the ability to personalize messages with the recipient's name and other information, even mass messages feel personal. Members feel they're being contacted directly, not as part of an impersonal mass mailing.
