Who can send broadcasts?
Your ability to send a broadcast depends on your role and who you’re allowed to address: Role Can broadcast to Super Admin / Senior Manager Whole organisation or any department Manager Their own department(s) Coordinator Their own department(s) Assistant Can draft broadcasts - sent to a Manager for approval before delivery Society or Club Leader Their society or club members only If your role isn’t listed above (for example, Weekly Paid Staff), you receive broadcasts but cannot send them. Contact your manager if you believe your role should include broadcast permissions.Where broadcasts live
Open the Broadcasts feed by clicking Broadcasts in the main sidebar, or navigate directly to /broadcasts . Every broadcast your subscribed channels have received appears here in reverse-chronological order.Feed features
The broadcasts feed gives you several tools to stay on top of incoming messages: Channel and status filters - narrow the feed to a specific broadcast channel (for example, All Staff , Rota Updates ) or filter by status (unread, scheduled, all). Full-text search - type a keyword to search across all broadcast subjects and body text you have access to. Unread state tracking - unread broadcasts are visually distinguished; the sidebar badge shows your total unread count. Infinite scroll - the feed loads more broadcasts automatically as you scroll, so there’s no pagination to manage. Each broadcast shows an urgency chip: Low (routine), Medium, or High. Medium and High posts also use stronger accent colours in the feed and on the detail page. Composers pick urgency when writing the post. At most one broadcast can be pinned per organisation. Pinning a new post unpins the previous one and keeps the pinned post above non-pinned items in the feed.Smart date detection
When a broadcast body mentions a date or date range - for example, “The office will be closed on 25 December” - Campsite detects it automatically and shows an Add to calendar prompt beneath the message. Tapping or clicking that prompt creates a calendar event in your Campsite calendar without you having to copy anything manually. The add-to-calendar prompt also works on mobile. See the Calendar page for details on syncing those events to Google or Microsoft Calendar.How broadcasts are delivered
When a broadcast is published, Campsite delivers it through three channels simultaneously: In-app - the broadcast appears in your feed immediately and the sidebar badge increments. Email - a branded copy of the broadcast (title and message) is sent to each targeted member’s registered email address, with a button that opens that broadcast in Campsite so you can reply, vote on polls, and continue the thread in-app. Push notification - a push alert is sent to any device where you have the Campsite mobile app installed.Do Not Disturb quiet hours
Push notifications respect your Do Not Disturb schedule. If a broadcast is published outside your quiet hours, the push will be held and delivered when your quiet period ends. In-app and email delivery are not affected by quiet hours. You can configure your quiet hours under Settings → Notifications . Your Super Admin may also set organisation-wide defaults for push delivery windows.Replies and reactions
On a sent broadcast, people who can see it can:- Start a shared thread reply everyone with access can read
- Send a personal reply only the broadcast author (and the person who wrote it) can see
- Reply to a shared-thread reply (nested under a shared reply)
- React with emoji (👍 ❤️ 😂 🎉 👀)
Reply notifications
When someone replies, Campsite notifies the people who need to know (not the whole audience):- Shared or private reply on your broadcast: you (the author) get a push notification and a short email
- Nested reply under a shared-thread reply: the parent reply author is notified as well as the broadcast author
- You are never notified about your own reply
