If Discourse forum system has mass message function? That’s to say, moderator can send internal message (notice) to all forum users one time. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your help.
But if i want to establish one Group name **all users** , i can’t add the **trust\_level\_0** into the group.
And, if i want to post message, i can’t select **trust\_level\_0** in the receiver column.
So i don’t know how to send message to batch users. I need you help, thanks a lot.

No, mentioning the [@everyone](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/everyone) group **does not** mention everyone.

It’s not possible through a mention. You can show a global notice though.

You could mention [@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0) after allowing this in site settings.

If i don’t want other users to see how many people in level 0 , (it means i don’t use mention function), then can i set up one Group of all users?

[@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0) _is_ a group of all users 🙂

How do I do this? How do I enable mentioning [@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0)? @fefrei
Update: I figured it out. Here is a screenshot for anyone who needs to do this.

So I did this, and the trust\_level\_0 appears to have all users in my forum, but it looks like not everyone was emailed the notice of the PM. I see only a handful of people got emails around the time I sent. Is there some lag time?

IMHO, if you want to mass email your forum members it would be better to not do it through Discourse.
If your intent is to mass email, as compared to mass Notification, I think it would be better to export your members’ email addresses and use an email provider.
As for a possible delay, it could be that a job needs to run. But it could be that some members, depending on their activity and how they have their Preference Settings that they won’t get an email.

If you really do want to send an email to all your users through Discourse, I created a plugin to do that a while ago:
[https://github.com/mozilla/discourse-email-all](https://github.com/mozilla/discourse-email-all)
Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

Does this plugin still works?

We haven’t used it recently - sending an email to every single one of your users isn’t something you’ll want to be doing very often if you want to keep those users - but there’s no reason I can think of that it wouldn’t still work.
