Communication List Building
For communication lists that are split by campus:
- [Name of Communication List] – [Campus Abbreviation]
- Example: Care Requests – ST
For communication lists that are not split by campus:
- [Name of Communication List]
- Example: DreamTeam Celebration
For communication lists that are single use, be sure to add the date or year:
- [Name of Communication List] | [YYYY]
- Example: Advent | 2023
If something is a campaign, be sure to explain that in the description. (Note: this description is publicly viewable)
- Example: This subscription will send a daily (M-F) SMS message December 4th – December 22nd
