WhatsApp and SMS
Reach learners where they already read

Write once, send everywhere
Announce sends one message by the in-app bell, phone push, email, WhatsApp and SMS together. Pick everyone, a role, a cohort, a squad or a saved group.
- Each person gets it once, even if they're in several groups
- Email as a fallback for people without WhatsApp
- A delivery log for every message
