# Quick Start

Need to send an alert fast? Follow these four steps:

### 1. Select Recipients

* Choose recipients by **Location, Job, Role, or Team Member**.
* **Aggregators**: Select which **Member Organization(s)** should receive the alert.
* Verify the **Recipient List** to confirm who will be notified.

### 2. Compose the Message

* Enter a **Subject** and required **Nudge**.
* Add details, optional video (up to 90 seconds), or a **Call to Action**.
  * Set the Call to Action expiration (2 hours–5 days, default 24 hours).
* Attach Library content if needed.

### 3. Review & Send

* Fix any validation errors.
* Preview the alert.
* Click **Send Team Alert**.

### 4. Alert History

* View an overview of alerts you’ve sent.
* View the recipient list.
* For active alerts with a Call to Action: update the **due date/time**.
* Clone alerts to reuse them.
* Edit or delete alerts in **draft status**.
* Open any alert to review its content.

### Best Practices

* Keep your **Nudge short and clear**.
* Always double-check the **Recipient List** before sending.
* Use **Call to Actions** when you need acknowledgment or compliance tracking.
* Check **Alert History** after sending to manage due dates or reuse past alerts.
