BCC Messages (Bulk DM)

BCC messages allow you to send the same message immediately to any number of conversations.

ℹī¸ Conversations include:

  • Direct messages with other users
  • Multi-person direct messages (group messages)
  • Private channels
  • Public channels

To send a BCC message:

  • Head to the Nightowl app home – make sure you are on the Home tab.
  • Navigate to the BCC Message section and click the 📧 New button.

    You can also start a BCC message from the global shortcuts menu.

  • Enter one or more conversations to BCC.

    When more than one conversation is selected, semicolons will be used as delimiters to display the recipients after the message is created.

    E.g. a message to separately selected DM recipients @Jack, @Jill, and @Jen will show asBCC: @Jack; @Jill; @Jen whereas selecting a group DM between you, @Jack, and @Jill in addition to a separately selected DM with @Jen will appear as BCC: @Jack, @Jill; @Jen.

  • Compose your message.
  • Optionally enable the insertion of recipient mentions.

    The variable {@} will be replaced with a user tag in IMs and @here in other conversations.

  • Select whether or not to show the recipient(s) that this message is from Nightowl.

    Default selection can be modified in App Settings****

  • Select whether or not to show previews of linked content in messages containing URLs.

    Default selection can be modified in App Settings****

  • Click Send to deliver it immediately to each conversation.

ℹī¸ All Nightowl messages are sent from your user.

Recipients will not be able to tell that you did not send the message.
