• Group admins can’t send private messages to all members of a group. The best way to reach all members at once and start a discussion is to make a post in the group.
• Another option is to set up a group email address…
How to set up a group email address:
• As an admin, you can set a group email address to help your group stay in touch:On the right side of the group, click "Edit Group.“
Select "Set Up Group Email."
Enter an email address for your group. The email address can only include letters, numbers and a period (.) – no special characters.
Click "Create Email."If the email address you picked is available, it will become your
group email. If it's taken, you can choose a different email.
When a member sends an email to this address, the message is posted in the group and other members are notified. If a group member responds to an email
notification, the response also shows up as a comment on the group post.
Note that once your group email address has been set, it can’t be changed again. Only members will be
able to post in the group using this email.
