How do I Create a Group?
Groups let you send one message to many contacts. Create a group for each audience you message, such as customers, staff or event guests.
Create a Group
Open Groups
- Click Groups in the left sidebar.
Start a New Group
- Click Create Group. The Create Group page opens.
Name the Group
- Enter a Group Name of 2 to 64 characters.
- Optionally add a Description of up to 1,000 characters to note what the group is for.
Create It
- Click Create Group.
DartPro shows Group Created and opens the new group's page.
💡 Group names are unique
You can't have two groups with the same name. If you enter the name of a group you already have, DartPro opens that group instead of creating a new one.
Add Contacts to the Group
A new group is empty. Fill it in any of these ways:
- Import: on the group's page, click Import Contacts, then pick the group under Select Groups to Import the Contact Into. See How do I Import Contacts?.
- Add one person: click Add Contact and pick the group in Groups.
- Add existing contacts: on the Contacts page, select contacts and click Add to Group.
- Let people join by text: set up an opt-in code. See How do I Let Contacts Opt In by SMS?.
For more options, see How do I Manage Group Members?.

⚠️ Renaming affects scheduled messages
Scheduled group messages find their groups by name when they're sent. If you rename a group, messages already scheduled for it won't reach its members.
