Frequently asked questions
What is the difference with a group or broadcast?
A channel is one-way communication to followers who sign up. A group is interactive; a broadcast goes to your own contact list.
Can followers respond to my channel messages?
A channel is designed for broadcasting. Interaction is limited, which keeps it clear for broad announcements.
