How do I send an announcement?
ForLandlordsProperty managers
Who can do this
Landlords and Organization users with Send Announcements.
Where to find it
Announcements → New announcement (or Send an announcement on the empty page).
Steps
- Who should get this? Choose A property ("Everyone living there"), A unit ("One household") or A group ("A list you made"), then pick it. Continue.
- What's it about? Enter a Title (up to 120 characters). Continue.
- What do you want to say? Write the Message (up to 5,000 characters). Continue.
- Add a picture? Optional: drop a .png or .jpg up to 5 MB, or Skip.
- Check the Who gets it panel: the number of tenants, how many are reachable, who can't be reached or is excluded, and "What they'll see".
- Click Send to <n> tenants.
What happens next
You see Announcement sent / "Delivered to <n> recipients." with View delivery. Tenants get an email with the title as the subject and a View in Kera button, plus a bell notification and an unread item under their Announcements.
Good to know
Tenants who turned off the email for announcements still get the in-app copy; their email shows Opted out.
Troubleshooting
- "Nobody in this audience can be reached, so it can't be sent." The audience has no tenants with an account or email. Pick another audience or add tenant emails.
- "Some tenants have no app account or email on file and won't get this announcement."
- "Couldn't upload the image" / "Nothing was sent. Try again, or remove the image and send without it."
- Close without sending: "Discard announcement" asks to confirm.
