TwitHaven includes the ability to send a new Message to an individual message or to a Group of Users. If the recipients also have their SMS option turned on and configured in their Window-Database-Users-SMS window then the Message and attachment will be sent to them as an email.
- Choose TwitHaven from the Window menu (command-T on Macintosh or control-T on Windows or Linux).
- Click the New button. A New Message window will appear.
- Choose the User or Group who you want to message to go to. The message will go to everyone in the both the group and/or the user.
- Type the Message you want to send.
- Click the Send button.
Attachments
If you want to include an attachment, click the Attach check box. You will be asked to select a file for including with the message. Attachments are not included with the received Message but are enclosed with the email.
Options
IT departments can define email addresses to forward their messages to SMS phone services. TwitHaven does not perform this function.
The message will appear on the recipient’s computer for one month (by default). You can change the dates and time when a message will appear. This means you can extend or reduce the time the message will appear or even delay the time before the message will begin to appear.
You can send yourself a message to appear after a certain date and time as a reminder.
As you type your message the number of characters will appear just below the message. This is important as SMS messages on mobile phones can accept a maximum of only 140 characters. You can enter as many characters as you want in the message, but as the number of characters approaches or exceeds 140 characters the text colour will change.
