Product features
Send mass notifications or enable two-way or group communications via web interface, text message, or app. Users receive messages to a number of different platforms at once. Members choose whether they want to stay updated via email, SMS, voice broadcasts, Facebook, Twitter, RSS, the organization's own website (through an embedded forum), or the Regroup feeds. Updates can be sent to any or all platforms depending on the person posting, and users can also set their preferred medium for receiving group messages.
