Notifications can be sent to complex distribution lists, such as “all active members of a specified type + members of two specified committees + non-members in the Press category + the following three individuals.” You can also save these distribution lists for use at any time. ClubExpress builds the list dynamically when each notifications is about to be sent, so it’s always up-to-date. The system automatically removes duplicates so that each recipient only receives one notifications even if they are in multiple parts of the distribution list.
Distribution lists with multiple options act using “OR” conditions; each option is additive to the list.
If you select “Members in a specified city” and enter “Chicago”, then specify “Members of a specified type” and enter “Single”, you will be sending anotifications everyone in Chicago as well as everyone who’s a Single member.
