Search documentation

Type to search.

Create a dated announcement for the coach briefing audience. Current source includes announcements in coach briefings; it does not establish a general member-portal, email, or SMS announcement broadcast.

Access and dependencies

  • Open GymCore > Communications > Announcements with edit_posts.
  • Viewing the optional Coach Briefings tab requires gym_view_briefing.
  • Create any target location or program before selecting it.
  • Announcements can be reproduced in briefings. Do not include member health, payment, disciplinary, credential, or other private information.

Create the announcement

  1. Open GymCore > Communications > Announcements.
  2. Select Add announcement. If you are on the Communications summary, Manage announcements opens the same records.
  3. Enter the WordPress title and body.
  4. Set the visible target controls, including target type and, when applicable, Target Location or Target Program.
  5. Set Start Date and End Date for the intended briefing window, and choose the pinned option only when the item should receive that emphasis.
  6. Select Publish.

Expected: WordPress creates the announcement and its editor reloads in published state. The target and date fields remain saved.

Verify the audience output

  1. Open GymCore > Communications > Coach Briefings with an account that has gym_view_briefing.
  2. Select a relevant date, location, or program supported by the installed briefing view.
  3. Find the announcement and compare the title, body, target, and active dates.

Expected: The announcement appears only in an applicable coach briefing while active. Briefing generation is runtime-dependent; publication alone does not prove an email, SMS, member notice, or external delivery occurred.

Reverse or recover

Use Update to correct the title, body, targeting, or dates. Change the WordPress status to draft or trash the announcement to stop future inclusion. That does not retract briefings, screenshots, exports, or messages already produced.

Verify in the source systems

Confirm the published post and targeting in Communications > Announcements, then confirm the rendered item in the applicable Coach Briefings view. If an external process distributes briefings, verify that separate provider or delivery record too.
