Announcements for your HOA

Publish the update once. Keep the community informed.

Write and schedule community-wide news for the resident portal, with optional public website visibility and supported email and phone notifications. Keep updates in a place the association owns.

Pool maintenance

The pool will be closed Tuesday morning for scheduled maintenance.

A useful update should not disappear into a personal inbox.

Announcements keep community news in a searchable feed that residents can revisit. Staff choose when to publish and whether an update should also appear publicly.

What you can do

The tools behind the everyday work.

Write and schedule updates

Compose an announcement in the editor, categorize it, and publish now or at a chosen date and time.

A resident news feed

Published announcements appear where residents already begin: their community dashboard.

Optional public visibility

Mark an announcement public to include it on supported website news surfaces. Resident-only is the default.

Email and phone notifications

Publishing can notify subscribed residents through the supported announcement channels, subject to their preferences.

Community conversation

Keep permitted comments with the announcement so discussion stays in the association’s own system.

Searchable published information

Published announcements support resident search and, where enabled, Nova’s answers about current community information.

How it works

From a draft update to the places residents look.

  1. Write the update

    Choose its category and explain what residents need to know.

  2. Choose visibility

    Keep it for residents or also make it public.

  3. Publish or schedule

    Release it now or set its publication time.

  4. Reach connected surfaces

    The feed, eligible website sections, and supported notifications use the published update.

Connected by the record

Your public news stays current as part of normal board work.

A public announcement can appear on the website without a separate page edit. Resident-only updates stay out of the public news feed.

  • Write the update once and manage its publication centrally.
  • Keep the portal and website reading the same published content.
  • Use Email communications when a message needs a targeted audience.
