Send a 'broadcast' message

Hi! We are looking for a way to send a message to a group of users (maybe all) in a kind of broadcast way. For example an alert like "please disconnect from that system bla bla" or "we have this new feature, please answer in case of bla bla"

Any idea on how to do it? Thanks!

    Hi

     

    Yes you should use UCMA to send this by script. Here is MVP Tom Morgan's example https://gist.github.com/tomorgan/5083819 

     

    You could use this to loop through a list of users to send i believe

      The link "https://gist.github.com/tomorgan/5083819 " is broken.

      Thanks.

      Well... in my dreams there is a feature/tool I can use, but starting from some code it's a start anyway.

    Hi

    The only way to do this currently is to add all your users to a distribution group and then send an IM to that group 

     

    thanks

      But in this way I start a chat with the entire group: I'd love each of them see it as an individual chat. Any way to do it?

      Thanks

        It also would be limited by the maximum particpants setting in conference policies.

         

        If you are running on-premises there still might be the option of a UCMA App that could do it.  I remember there were a couple of companies offering this back in the Lync days.  not sure if they are still around.
