Use Message Relay to Email Club Members
Need to reach your entire club directly by email? Message Relay is a powerful tool that allows you to send messages to specific member groups within your club roster—without exposing their personal contact information.
How to Make a Message Relay:
- Go to ookslife.ca and log in.
- From the left-hand menu, click the gear icon next to your club name and select Roster.
- At the top, click Messaging.
- Click the + button to create a new message relay.
- Give your list a clear title (e.g., Full Club Roster – Sept 10 or Club Executives – Winter Term).
- Select the positions you want to message (e.g., all members, just executives).
- Click Create.
- In your regular email service, draft your message with a subject line and body content.
- Copy the message relay email link and paste it into the To: field of your email.
- Hit Send! Your email will be delivered to the selected roster group via BCC, keeping everyone’s contact info private.
Use Message Relay for:
- Event invitations
- Executive recruitment
- Surveys or feedback
- Club updates
