Group email for Base Camp Managers?

Steve,

I'm a Division Director and I have a bunch of clubs that are using FTH and will help them setup the workaround. FYI for those clubs that are NOT using FTH Pathways provides yet another reason to use FTH (as if there were not enough already).

Thank you for the Workaround in FTH.

But, for those clubs that are not using FTH, an 'Easy Answer' to sending Basecamp manager eMails to multiple IDs is to use a mail service that allows forwarding emails. Gmail does allow that - although it is not intuitive.

I'll be recommending to the clubs I work with that they either use FTH and a group email id or if they aren't using FTH using Gmail to forward to multiple ids.

The idea that Toastmasters International sent out in an email to my clubs suggested:

'For this reason, it is recommended you use an email address that all three of you can access.'

does not sit well with me.

If something does not sit well with you respond to the group at TI that sent the letter, they are the only ones who have control.

I got Base Camp to send me a message so I could use the workaround. And then I realized why that is not a good idea. The address on 'find a club" is used by outsiders, including prospective members, to ask questions and check on the meeting information. It would defeat that purpose if we used an address that can only accept email from club members and specifically whitelisted addresses. I realize this is a problem for TI/WHQ.

Thanks for sharing this insight! ;) It may come down to having to set up a dummy gmail account in the short run that has some rules functionality in it until TI can come up with a better approach. If you use an email address that has rules capability (like gmail), then you should be able to set up a rule to forward emails to different destinations based on their from address.

BTW, for the lurkers, I am very interested in this because as my district's Chief Ambassador / Chief Guide, I know this is something I am going to have to be able to have our Guides explain to clubs in my district. This is an example of me having to "eat my own dog food". :lol:

Beth,

Could you post what the Basecamp Manager email address/subject line was?

Thanks!
