New Research into the Impact of Rescue Work on Mental and Physical Health

After a soft launch, some humane bug squashing, and a few adjustments based on member feedback, we are all systems go with the new Matchmakers messaging system!
Here’s what’s been updated since the initial soft launch:
- Phone numbers and email addresses are now visible on all messages

- Group Admins can now see ALL conversations within the group

Working in a similar way to Facebook messages, this message functionality lays the foundations for a raft of time-saving tech features that are coming soon, including:
- Bulk message sending capacity. Did 200 people apply for one poodle, goldendoodle or a schnoodle? No problem! You’ll soon be able to update the unsuccessful applicants in one swift click.
-
Customisable templates for firing off quick replies (we think you’ll especially like the nicely worded ‘no’ response).
-
An app with push notifications
-
And more!
A huge thank you to all groups who have provided testing and feedback so far. And please, keep it coming! You can send your feedback to members@petrescue.org.au.
