When sending emails or WhatsApp messages, you might want to send it to a particular group or segment of the contacts in your Belcoda.

There are different types of filters that you can use for different situations. But they all start by typing into the recipients box, and seeing what comes up in the dropdown menu.

I want to send to some individual people

If you know the names of who you want to send to, you can simply type their names into the recipient box, and they should appear in the drop down.

If you know their email address or phone number, you can type that in and the person should appear in the dropdown too.

If you type in numbers, it will try to filter the list by matching people’s phone numbers, rather than name. And if you type in something that contains “@” then it will try to filter by email.

I want to send to everyone in my workspace

In order to send to everyone, simply type “everyone:” into the recipients box, and a “Everyone” option should appear in the dropdown. Select that, and your email or WhatsApp message will got to everyone!

The “everyone” filter is not yet implemented, but should be released in the coming days. Check back soon!

I want to send to a group

If you are using Belcoda’s groups feature to organize your workspace into groups or teams, you can type “group:” and then the group’s name into the recipient box and the group should appear in the dropdown. Select that, and your message will go to all members of that group or team.

I want to send to people with a particular tag

If you want to send to everyone who has been assigned a particular tag, simply type “tag:” and then the tag name into the recipient box, and the tag should appear in the dropdown.

I want to send to people who have signed up to an event

If you want to send to people who have signed up to an event, simply type “event:” and then the event’s name into the recipient box and that event should appear in the dropdown.

<aside> 💡

If it’s after the event, and you are marking attendance (ie: using Belcoda to recording who actually showed up to your event), you can type “attended:” into the recipient box, followed by the name of the event, and choose the attended filter for that event. If you select that, your message will only be sent to people who are marked in Belcoda as actually having attended the selected event. You can also filter by anyone who has attended any event in a given time period.
