Notice Broadcast Software for PG and Hostel Announcements

A notice broadcast is one announcement written once and delivered to the exact set of people you choose — the whole property, a single floor, or the guests staying tonight — over email and WhatsApp, scheduled for whenever suits, with an outcome recorded against every name it reached.

  • Whole PG or chosen rooms
  • Email + WhatsApp
  • Schedule ahead
  • Per-recipient delivery log

The tanker is late, the lift is down on Sunday, rent day has moved because the bank is shut. This is the traffic a property actually runs on, and most owners still push it through a group chat that a third of their tenants never joined, or a printed sheet taped by the stairs that nobody photographs. Both work right up to the moment someone says they were never told, and neither leaves anything you can point at.

What PG owners struggle with today

Announcements are how a property actually runs: the tanker is late, the lift is down on Sunday, rent day moved because of a bank holiday. Most owners still send a notice to all PG tenants through a group half of them never joined, backed up by a printed sheet near the stairs that nobody stops to read.

  • Tenants who never joined the WhatsApp group miss everything
  • Messages meant for one floor get sent to the whole building
  • Nobody can prove what was announced when a dispute starts
  • Copy-pasting a phone list means somebody is always missed
  • Announcements written at 11pm have to be sent at 11pm
  • Short-stay guests living in the building hear nothing at all

Problem → solution mapping

Each pain point maps to a module that ships in the product today — not a roadmap promise.

Group nobody joined

Sent to the tenants your rule selects, on email and WhatsApp

Wrong audience

Everyone, active only, chosen rooms, by status — or current guests

No proof it was sent

A per-recipient, per-channel delivery record you can point at

Manual phone lists

Recipients resolved fresh at send time from live tenant data

Right message, wrong hour

Schedule it and it goes out on its own

Guests left out

The same notice can target current short-stay guests

What you get in the product

Every capability below ships in TrackMyPG today — no roadmap promises, no fake automation.

Pick exactly who hears it

Everyone currently staying, active tenants only, the tenants in chosen rooms, tenants by status, or your current guests.

A third-floor water notice does not reach the whole building.

  • Live recipient count before sending
  • Rules resolved at send time
  • New arrivals included automatically

Email and WhatsApp together

Send on both channels, respecting what each tenant chose to receive and what the property has enabled.

Reach people where they actually read.

  • Per-tenant preference honoured
  • Title becomes the email subject
  • Rich text with lists and links

Draft, schedule, send

Save a draft for a second pair of eyes, schedule for 9am tomorrow, or send now after a confirmation.

The announcement goes out on time without you awake for it.

  • Reschedule or cancel while waiting
  • Fires without anyone logged in
  • Confirmation before a live send

Watch it go out

Live progress while a notice is in flight — percentage complete with sent, failed and skipped counts.

You know it landed before the questions start.

  • Progress under the notice title
  • Stop the remaining sends if needed
  • Retry without messaging anyone twice

A record that holds up

Every recipient and channel is logged with its outcome and the reason when something was skipped.

Deposit and dispute conversations have evidence.

  • Missing contact details flagged
  • Provider failures recorded
  • Searchable notice history

Guests hear it too

When short stays are enabled, a notice can target guests in-house — everyone, or just particular rooms.

People sleeping in your building learn about the water.

  • All current guests
  • Guests in chosen rooms
  • Same compose screen

Step-by-step in TrackMyPG

The same flow your desk runs every month — from tenant to report.

  1. Write it once

    A clear title — it becomes the email subject and the first WhatsApp line — and the message body.

  2. Choose the audience

    Whole PG, active tenants, specific rooms, tenant statuses, or current guests.

  3. Check the count

    The recipient count updates as you change the rule, so you see the blast radius first.

  4. Pick channels

    Email, WhatsApp or both — narrowed by each tenant’s own preference.

  5. Send or schedule

    Send now, or park it for a time at least a minute ahead and forget about it.

  6. Check delivery

    Watch live progress, then read the log for anything skipped or failed.

Measurable outcomes on the ground

The whole property, or one floor

Target everyone, active tenants only, chosen rooms, a tenant status, or your current guests — and see the live recipient count before you commit to sending.

Email and WhatsApp together

One notice goes out over both channels, narrowed by what each tenant chose to receive, so nobody is messaged somewhere they asked not to be.

Schedule it and walk away

Park an announcement for 9 AM tomorrow and it fires on its own with nobody logged in. Watch sent, failed and skipped counts move while it runs.

Proof, not recollection

Every recipient and channel is stored with its outcome and the reason anything was skipped, which turns a disputed "nobody informed us" into a record you can open.

What operators report after adoption

  • Fewer “nobody told us” conversations at the desk
  • Announcements reaching tenants who never joined the group
  • Room-specific notices that do not disturb the whole property
  • Evidence of what was communicated when a dispute starts
  • Announcements scheduled once instead of set as a personal alarm
  • Short-stay guests informed alongside monthly tenants
