How to bulk message travellers on a 'fixed departure' upcoming trip

To enhance communication for fixed departure group trips, we have a bulk messaging feature that allows you to seamlessly connect with your guests collectively (in addition to individually), ensuring everyone stays informed and engaged.

The messaging feature is only available once:

  1. the messaging feature is enabled in your platform 'Settings';

  2. the trip is an 'upcoming' trip (not a proposal);

  3. your client (the traveller) has been invited to view the 'upcoming' trip on the app; and

  4. your client (the traveller) has downloaded the TripMapper mobile app and signed up.

Please note that for clients, messaging is currently available on the mobile app only. 📱
