A text campaign is an outgoing text message you can customize to go to all your donors, groups of donors or selected donors, and you can send it right from your Generush dashboard. There are 2 kinds you can create…
NOTIFICATION

Examples:
“Services are canceled this evening due to wether.”
“If you plan on attending the dinner on Nov. 24th please register here: https://myform.generush.org“
ONE-CLICK
Send Notifications that are connected to a cause.
The recipient can respond with the amount they would like to contribute.
