PARiM is offering different options for contacting and notifying your people. You are able to reach them via email, message or SMS.
You can message people from the Schedule calendar as well as from the People page.
The Schedule page is useful when you need to message either all or specific persons regarding anything scheduling or shift related whereas messaging from the People is great for HR purposes, for example, you can filter out all the people whose passports have expired and can email them about it.
Here you can find a video tutorial on how to send messages and emails with PARiM.

The contact persons will show up on the recipient list in the message center also. To send them messages, make sure to have the email or SMS option selected as internal messages are not currently visible to them.
They are not included in the All Staff message list like subcontractors.
4. Invite people to apply to open shifts
After you have created open shifts, then you can invite people to apply using messaging functionality. The system will send the message only to the people who meet all the set system settings - like a person must be available during open shifts, the person must have the position assigned to them etc. Please find step by step guide HERE.
