Loomio

Displaying email addresses to paid group coordinators

James Kiesel PublicSeen by 61

One of the more common requests we get from group coordinators is 'How can I contact the people in my group without starting a Loomio thread'? Since we don't reveal email addresses to group coordinators, and don't require avatars, it's really easy to end up in a situation where you're coordinating a group with 4 people named 'Jess', and you don't know which they are.

However, on the other side, we have the very real privacy concern that some group members simply don't want their emails to be visible, even to group coordinators.

So, as compromise here, we've made email addresses visible to coordinators of paid groups (who tend to be the folks who need this sort of functionality the most). Now, if you're the coordinator of a group on a Gold plan on higher, you'll be able to see and send emails to the members of your group on the memberships page.

Feel free to reach out with questions, concerns, and additional feature requests. What would make getting in touch with your group easier for you?
