Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Targeted communication to groups of people
Regarding getting people to participate, physical meetings are a key in getting people actively involved.
Therefore, we've heard requests from Decidim users that they would like to communicate directly to certain people in the system, not only the whole userbase who have enabled newsletters.
I'll list below some of the requests that we have heard so far (anyone else can chime in).
I would like to send a message to all participants in the system who:
- Have submitted an idea/proposal.
- Have participated in an idea/proposal (one of the authors).
- Have participated in general (left idea/proposal, comment, support, etc.).
These requests can apply to the whole system (i.e. all participatory spaces) or can be limited to a certain participatory space or a certain component.

- The ability to select "Participants" is certainly nice but it may not be enough to support the use cases described in this feature request. For example, what if they want to message ONLY people who have left an idea or ONLY people who have commented to an idea or ONLY people who are coauthors of an idea? The current implementation seems to support only the last example from the points raised in this feature request (apart from the inability to send to anyone, without them having newsletters enabled).
- This should also support 3rd party modules (such as decidim-plans) to provide the filtering options to send the message to.
Ok, so the proposal is to have a more fine-grained send-to participant
Yes, and just to elaborate to avoid misunderstandings:
"send to participant OR sent to multiple participants".
And just a note that from the user requests, these messages should go to the email boxes of the recipients and not only to the private messages section. They may have disabled the email notifications for app notifications which I believe would cause them not to be notified about the new message.
