## Creating broadcasts

`Broadcasts` are 1-to-many messages that can be prescheduled to channels or individual contact DMs.

| Status        | Definition                                                              |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**     | Broadcasts that won't be delivered; use for work-in-progress broadcasts |
| **Scheduled** | Broadcasts that are queued for delivery and a scheduled date            |

#### Channel broadcasts

<Info>
  Channel broadcasts are the default broadcast type and are posted as new
  threads in channels. Engagement and analytics can be tracked for channel
  broadcasts.

| - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Go to [Broadcasts](https://app.withchanneled.com/broadcasts) and select **New broadcast**.                                                                                    |
| 2 | To send a broadcast to channels, use **Channel post** in the `Message type` field. This should be the default option already selected.                                        |
| 3 | Update a **Sender** by selecting a user in the `Send from` field. This will default to yourself when you make new broadcasts.                                                 |
| 4 | Select channels under the `Deliver to` field. If you have a large number of channels, you can use additional filters to select and choose channels to target.                 |
| 5 | After composing your broadcast, schedule it and name your broadcast. If needed, keep your broadcast in **Draft** status to prevent it from being sent out until you're ready. |

#### Member broadcasts

<Info>
  Member broadcasts are 1-to-many DM messages that can be sent to channel
  contacts. For Slack privacy reasons (reading DMs), engagement analytics are
  not tracked for member broadcasts.
