How do you send out Discovery Experiences under Helper and Easy Invitations to those in our ward that are not looking at their FS messages? There is a word COPY that highlights red what do you do next?

As to those in your Ward are NOT looking a their "Messages" (ie. ANY ) in "User Messaging" of "FamilySearch"; then, ...

.

'Send' them a 'Copy' of that 'link' via a DIRECT "E-mail", for them to be able to select that 'link'.

.

That is provided, of course, such people even access "E-mails" - that is another matter altogether ...

.

If they are signed into "FamilySearch" ...

.

When they open their "E-mail"; and, select that 'link'; then, that will bring them to those "Messages" for, both, "Discoveries"; and, "Temple", in "User Messaging" in "FamilySearch", in a slightly different; but, similar, format.

.

Same thing, just a slightly different; but, similar, format.

.

If they are NOT signed into "FamilySearch"; then, they will be prompted to do so; and, once they do; then the aforementioned will ensue.

.

Test it for yourself.

.

If you copy the 'link' of ANY of your Ward members, it is the SAME 'link'.

.

https://www.familysearch.org/notifications/discoveries

.

If you are signed into "FamilySearch"; then, paste any 'link' into a new 'Tab' or 'Window' and press 'Enter' - you will see what I mean.

.

Now ...

That said ...

.

As an aside, you need to "Teach" and "Train" those in your Ward that are NOT looking a their "Messages" (ie. ANY) in "User Messaging" of "FamilySearch", HOW to do so.

.

Even these days, MANY Users/Patrons DO NOT even how to use "User Messaging" of "FamilySearch" - they DO NOT know that they have ANY "Messages" (and, that includes "Conversations").

.

Such Users/Patrons are amazed when they are show "User Messaging" of "FamilySearch"; and, about "Messages" in general.

.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, Brett, I will try it.

What I have done is print the list of members, then another consultant and I call a member to remind them that there are hints available in their tree and explain what they might find to further their research. Also ask them to set a date to screen share and work together on various points on their tree, with them. Tell them new stuff, etc. it’s been very appreciated.
