Directra will do everything possible to make sure your blast reaches its intended audience. For example, if for some reason Directra can't deliver a call blast or a text blast to an individual, it will send an email instead. In some cases Directra will send a call blast in addition to or in place of a text blast. This all happens "behind the scenes" to assure you that your message gets sent.
Examples
- When you set up a team Directra lets you specify who are the players and who are the parents. You can then call, email or text all the parents, say, to let them know about a change in schedule.
- Before a team road trip determine who will be driving and assign these people to a temporary tag, say "Drivers". Drivers can then call or text each other to keep abreast of the latest traffic conditions. When the road trip is over you can delete this tag.
