Via admin there is an option to Email member levels and what I am looking for is the ability to Private Message member levels internally on our site... Does this exist?
I don't see it either. The closest non-email messaging by ML I see is Announcements. To see if I can help better, care to share what you're trying to accomplish via PM by ML?
Hey GS
Basically I am ensuring members of our community know that they have window to subscribe with our new gateway before a price change. I have made announcements to different member levels and see the Email option (but I use agilecrm and sendgrid for mass mailings, not my site so that is a non starter).
What I wanted to do is place a private message into various member levels inboxes to reach further on people reading and seeing the message. I feel this would be a way more powerful means of communicating and be more personal.
We are getting good traction and we hit 10% of our goal in our first day of this campaign... but I want more lol!
Congrats on the traction!
The only other ways I know of easily getting info in front of Users by ML are:
Wish I could be more helpful. Maybe there's a Plugin that does this (or somethg in SE Core that we're not seeing).
Thanks I appreciate this.
The next thing I am having developed is a plugin that brings the power of AgileCRM into SE and allows me to segment, drip and a few other items for speaking to our members both past and present.... this will be huge!
I forgot to mention I am also using the ads manager with a top center banner as well that seems to be doing well for ctr
That should be a very useful integration.
I use SEAO's Slideshow, customized to control banners/slides by date and content/page. The plan is to eventually allow page owners (for SEAO G/C, D/Bus, D/Page and others) to sell their own banners (with a cut to the house).
I do miss being able to PM member levels. I used to have an automated welcome PM for new members at that other script. Was a plugin but worked with the internal PM system. This would be a useful third party plugin to develop. Not by me - by another expert.
That exists Donna in this plugin:

I use it and it works well.
Thanks for the tip.
