Direct Messaging

in progress

Rosy Huong Nguyen

Hi there. I want to send direct messages to all my supporters, and also encourage them to send me messages and tell me which topics they want me to write about. So a direct chat feature like Messenger would be cool. Thanks.

Just wanted to let y'all know that the team has started working on this. 🚧  We're going to merge this with our 'Message all' feature which lets you send emails to your supporters. 
Let me know if you have any specific requests. Thanks!
P.S sneak peek 👇

@Jijo Sunny (founder): yaay!

Direct Messaging

We are able to send a message to all supporters / all members at once.
It should be great to have the ability to send a message to a specific supporter / member.
Supporter's emails are already displayed. If we click on it (like anywhere on the supporter row), we expand the row to see the transaction details.
It would be nice that the email information is a real link that will allow to send a specific message to that supporter.
It can be through BMC like for "message all" feature, or at least be a "mailto:" link to open our email client and avoid us to copy/paste the email information ourselves.
Use case : I have a supporter that gave me a lot of coffees, and I would like to thank him personnally (and privately), with a reward link for example with access to exclusive content.

Just wanted to quickly update y'all that we've started designing a DM feature. It's going to be awesome. :)

Meanwhile, check out the Discord integration to build a community among your members: https://help.buymeacoffee.com/en/articles/4558707-how-to-connect-discord-to-your-membership-benefits

This would be wonderful! Most of my listeners are not familiar with Telegram and Discord, but a built in DM feature would be perfect.

Quick update that we're making progress some great progress on this 🚧

I really need this... the old one kind of slow but this is important part to minimize and centralize the medium in communication.

Great feedback. Would you like for non-supporters being able to leave you a message too?

Alastair Johnson

@Jijo Sunny (founder): for me no, it would be like special access to me for members only. I am starting to get lots of messages and I would be able to tell my members that I prioritise messages sent on this platform

@Alastair Johnson: Noted. That makes sense.

I totally agree!
