Announcements are for board updates that should be visible to the whole community.
Use announcements for items such as:
- Meeting reminders
- Amenity closures
- Maintenance windows
- Community notices
- General board updates
Send an announcement
Board admins can send announcements from Communication → Announcements.
Add a clear subject and a short message. When the announcement is published, HoatzinHome saves it to the community announcement history and emails members using the board announcement template.
Who can create announcements
Only board admins can create announcements.
Members can read announcement history, but they cannot publish community-wide announcements.
What members receive
Members can see announcements in HoatzinHome and receive an email notification with the announcement subject and message preview.
Announcements are best for one-way community updates. Use Messages for direct conversations and Requests when a homeowner item needs tracking through resolution.
