CougarConnect: Roster

On the main Roster page, select the Messaging button at the top to send a message to your audience.

There are two options: Relays - which are sent as emails and Texts - which are sent as text messages.

---

Send a Relay (email):

1. select the little Create Relay button
2. Give your email a title
3. Select either the positions you would like to send the message to or the specific members you would like to send the email to.
   Note: If you would like to send the email to everyone on your page, select the position Member. Then select the blue Generate button.
4. The next page will give you a Relay code.
5. Open Outlook and paste this relay code into the “To” section of your email.

When the email is sent, a copy will be stored in Outlook and in CougarConnect. This is a useful tool when you do not want to have to copy and paste multiple email addresses into your email.

Send a Text:

Text messages rely on a student having both added their phone number to their CougarConnect profile and them accepting the agreement that CougarConnect can contact them via phone. This is still a solid option when needed.

On the main Roster page, select Manage Positions when you want to create a position or manage the administrative privileges of an existing position. You have the ability to customize the administrative privileges for every position.

Assign positions:

When you are ready to assign someone a position, go back to the main Roster page and select the pencil icon  to the right of their name. This allows you to assign them one or multiple positions.

On the main Roster page, select Invite People.

You then have the opportunity to copy and paste up to 500 email addresses into the box. When you select Add E-mail Addresses you will then have the option to invite the people on this list into a specific position. Select Send Invitations in order to complete the invitation process.

When you have invited someone, their name will appear under the Pending tab on the main Roster page. Prospective is a list of people who have requested to join your page.

You can export your roster at any time by selecting Export Roster on the far right and you can find the excel sheet in your user tool drawer (circle button on the upper right) and in the My Downloads section.
