Email communications for your HOA

Association email that knows who lives where.

Build community emails for residents with portal accounts, select audiences using current property and contact records, and track each recipient’s send status. Keep the mailing rules and message history with the association.

The audience should stay current when a home changes hands.

Saved audience rules select eligible portal users from the community’s current records when used. A board can reach a neighborhood phase or a group of owners without maintaining a separate export.

What you can do

The tools behind the everyday work.

A visual email editor

Compose messages with reusable content and layouts in the same family of editors used elsewhere in totalHOA.

Saved audience rules

Build segments from supported property, resident, and account fields, then reuse them for later campaigns.

Review the audience before sending

See recipient counts and audience changes before committing a message to the send queue.

Personalized test messages

Send a merged test to check how the message reads with the community’s own record fields.

Send now or schedule

Prepare a message in advance, choose its send time, or cancel a scheduled campaign before it goes out.

A record per recipient

Review sent, bounced, failed, complained, and suppressed outcomes with timestamps and recipient filters.

Connected by the record

A bulletin opt-out should not hide an account notice.

Community email preferences are separate from transactional messages. Residents can choose newsletter topics while still receiving supported billing and case notifications.

  • Use targeted campaigns for selected streets or groups.
  • Offer opt-in mailing lists for resident interests.
  • Keep audience rules and campaign records through board turnover.
