In addition to Planning Center lists and individual people, you can send an email to the members of a **Planning Center group** or to the people who signed up through a **Planning Center registration**. This lets you reach an audience you've already organized in Planning Center without rebuilding it as a list. When you send to a **registration**, the email goes to each registration's **contact — the person who filled out the registration — not the attendees themselves.** For example, if a parent registers their children for an event, the **parent** receives the email; the children do not. Keep this in mind when you write your message and choose a registration. *** ## Choosing Recipients You choose recipients from the email's **To** field, on the **Planning Center** tab. At the top of the recipient picker are filter chips that let you narrow what you're browsing: * **All** — search across everything at once * **Lists** — your Planning Center lists (loaded by default) * **People** — individual people (search-only) * **Registrations** — your Planning Center registrations * **Groups** — your Planning Center groups Lists load automatically when you open the picker. People are **search-only** — start typing a name to find someone. **Groups** and **Registrations** load when you select their chip (scroll to load more), and they also appear in results when you search from **All**. You can mix recipient types on the same email — for example, a list, a group, and a couple of individually added people. Flowforth de-duplicates across everything so no one receives the email more than once. See [Creating and Sending Emails](/emails/creating-an-email#to) for how filtering and de-duplication work. *** ## Sending to a Group When you select a group, the email is sent to the **members of that Planning Center group**. Subscription status still applies just like any other send: people who are unsubscribed from your organization's emails or from the email's category, or who have no email address on file, are excluded. See [Manage Subscription Status](/people/manage-subscription-status). *** ## Sending to a Registration When you select a registration, you pick a **signup**, and the email is sent to each registration's **contact**. The registration **contact** is the person who filled out the registration, which is **not necessarily the attendee**. A parent who registers their kids is the contact and will receive the email — the kids will not. As with every send, unsubscribed people and people without an email address are excluded. *** ## Permissions Sending to groups and registrations is controlled by two per-member permissions: * **Send to Planning Center Groups** * **Send to Planning Center Registrations** Both require **Emails** access at the **Manager** level (a send-restricted Designer cannot send to groups or registrations). Organization owners always have both. Owners can grant these permissions to members from the **Members** settings page, and set them as defaults when [inviting members](/organization/manage-and-invite-members) or on an [auto-join domain](/organization/auto-join-domains). Members **without** the matching permission also **cannot see** an email that is sent to a group or registration — not just create one. Because the recipient list would reveal who is in the group or who registered, these emails are hidden from members who lack access, similar to how [protected lists](/organization/list-permissions) work. See [Roles and Permissions](/organization/roles-and-permissions) for the full list of member permissions. *** ## Planning Center Scopes Sending to groups requires the **Groups** scope on your Planning Center connection, and sending to registrations requires the **Registrations** scope. * If a scope isn't connected, the picker **hides** that section when you're browsing **All**. * On the dedicated **Groups** or **Registrations** chip, owners see a **Connect** prompt that walks through the [expand-connection flow](/integrations/planning-center/overview#expanding-your-connection). Only organization owners can expand the Planning Center connection. Learn more in [Planning Center Integration](/integrations/planning-center/overview). *** ## Things to Know * **Unsubscribes apply.** Group and registration sends respect the same organization-wide and per-category [unsubscribe rules](/people/manage-subscription-status) as any other email. * **No Church Center announcement.** The [Church Center notification](/emails/church-center-announcements) option requires an email to target **exactly one list**, so it isn't available on emails sent to a group or registration. *** ## Suggested Reading * [**Creating and Sending Emails**](/emails/creating-an-email) - Choose recipients and send your email from start to finish. * [**Roles and Permissions**](/organization/roles-and-permissions) - Control which members can send to groups and registrations. * [**Planning Center Integration**](/integrations/planning-center/overview) - Connect the Groups and Registrations scopes. *** Need help sending to a group or registration?
