Saved Messages
Saved Messages let you create reusable message templates for communicating with groups during events. Instead of typing the same announcements repeatedly, save them once and insert them with a click.
Why Use Saved Messages?
- Save time - Write common announcements once and reuse them
- Ensure consistency - Send the same message at every event
- Reduce errors - No more typos when rushing during competitions
- Share across staff - Templates are available to all organization staff
Common Use Cases
| Message Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Weather delays | "Due to weather conditions, we are running 30 minutes behind schedule…" |
| Warmup reminders | "Please report to the warmup area 15 minutes before your scheduled performance time." |
| Schedule changes | "Attention: There has been a schedule change. Please check the updated lineup." |
| Check-in instructions | "All groups must check in at the registration table upon arrival." |
| Emergency procedures | "Please remain calm and follow staff instructions to the nearest exit." |
How Saved Messages Work
- Create templates in Settings > Saved Messages
- Organize by group type - Make templates global (for all groups) or specific to a group type
