Bulletin board
Post announcements and updates for your clients on your bulletin board and in your branded app.
The bulletin board is a shared feed where you post announcements and updates for your clients. Clients see it on your bulletin board web page and in the Community tab of your branded app.
The bulletin board is part of the branded mobile app add-on.
What to post
- Announcements and studio news
- A welcome message for new members
- Community guidelines
- Event details
- Links to outside groups, such as a Facebook group
Posts can include text, images, and videos.
Set up the bulletin board
- Go to Products → Bulletin Board.
- Turn on Enable bulletin board.
- Under Who can access?, choose who can see the board: Public, Registered users, or Paid access only.
- Under Who can post?, choose Business owner only, Registered users, or Paid access only.
- Under Who can comment?, choose the same way.
- Click Save changes.
Registered users means clients who are signed in. If you choose Paid access only, pick the pricing options that unlock it under Pricing options with access. You can choose subscriptions, packs, recurring bundles, and challenges.
As the business owner, you can always see, post, and comment, whatever you choose here.
Once the bulletin board is on, the page shows your bulletin board link. Copy it to share with clients, or use the embed option to add the board to your website.
Show the bulletin board in your app
Turn on the Community tab in Sales Channels → Mobile App. See App tabs.
The Community tab shows your bulletin board posts. Community forums don't appear in the app. They're only on the web. A community's bulletin board message does show in the app, on that community's page in the Programs tab.
Write a post
The Bulletin Board page in your dashboard only holds the settings. You write posts on the bulletin board itself, signed in as the business owner.
On the web
- Open your bulletin board link and sign in as the business owner.
- Write your post. If the board has no posts yet, click Create New Post first.
- To add a photo or video, click Upload image / video.
- Click Post now.
To publish later, open the menu next to Post now and choose Tomorrow at 9:00 am, Monday at 9:00 am, or Custom Time.
In your branded app
- Sign in as the business owner and open the Community tab.
- Tap + and write your post.
Posts you write in the app publish right away.
Notifications
- Push notifications: when you post, clients who can see the board get a push notification from your branded app, if they allow notifications. A scheduled post notifies them when it goes live.
- Emails to you: when a client posts or replies, you get the New bulletin board post or reply email.
- Emails to clients: when someone replies to a client's post, that client gets the Reply to your bulletin board post email.
To turn off either email or edit its wording, go to Settings → Communications → Transactional Messages.
