Create a Group Message Template

Create a Group Message Template

A  message template allows group members to send a text message to the group. The template provides a message that was previously created. The system administrator creates message templates for specific groups using the
Workcloud Communication PTT Pro Management Portal
.
Group message templates are used to send repetitive meaningful messages without the user having to type in the message. An additional feature provides the ability to have variable tags in the pre-configured message templates. This provides the user the ability to enter specific variable(s) into the template. When the user selects a template with variables, only the variable is required to be entered.
Group Message Templates cannot be added to Personal or Member type groups.
