Notifications in Chorilo – Revolutionizing Choir Communication

Notifications in Chorilo – More Than Just Messages

Communication is the heart of successful choir work. But how often do important pieces of information get lost in overflowing email inboxes? How many surveys are distributed across different platforms? How complicated is it to send an important message with attachments to all members simultaneously?

Chorilo revolutionizes choir communication with an intelligent notification system that combines all communication channels into a single, powerful feature.

The Problem of Traditional Choir Communication

Choir directors know the challenge: An important message needs to reach all members. What follows is often a time-consuming process:

• Emails to different distribution lists – who has read the message, who hasn't?
• WhatsApp groups – messages get lost in the flood
• Separate survey tools – additional platforms, additional logins
• Attachments via email – large files clog mailboxes
• No central overview – who has confirmed, who has declined?

The result? Confusion, missed information, and enormous administrative effort for choir leadership.

Chorilo's Intelligent Notification System – Everything in One Place

With Chorilo, these problems are a thing of the past. The notification system combines all communication channels in an elegant, user-friendly interface.

Double Notification: Email and Push

Chorilo ensures that no message is overlooked:

• Automatic email notifications – every message is sent as an email to all selected members
• Push notifications on smartphones – instant notification in the Chorilo app
• Individual notification channels – each member can choose in settings which channels they want to receive notifications through
• Double security possible – members can opt to be informed both via email and push
• No missed information – important messages reach everyone through their preferred channels

Attachments – Share Everything That Matters

Notifications in Chorilo are more than just text. With the attachment feature, you can share all important documents directly:

• Unlimited file attachments – PDFs, images, audio files, and more
• Large files no problem – no size restrictions like with emails
• Central storage – all attachments remain permanently available
• Easy access – members can download attachments anytime
• Clear presentation – all attachments of a message at a glance

Whether rehearsal schedules, concert programs, directions, or costume information – everything can be shared directly with the message.

Intelligent Polls – Gathering Opinions Made Easy

The heart of Chorilo notifications are the integrated polls. No separate tool, no additional platform – everything directly in the message:

Two Poll Types for Every Need

1. Simple Queries (Single Choice)

Perfect for decisions where only one option can be chosen:

• Schedule polls – "Which rehearsal date works best for you?"
• Repertoire votes – "Which piece should we choose for the concert?"
• Organizational questions – "Are you coming to the dress rehearsal?"
• Clear results – each member can only choose one option

2. Multiple Choice Polls

Ideal for situations where multiple options are possible:

• Availability queries – "Which dates work for you?"
• Interest surveys – "Which workshops interest you?"
• Multiple preferences – "Which concert dates work for you?"
• Flexible answers – members can select multiple options

Transparent Real-Time Results

What's special about Chorilo polls: Full transparency for everyone:

• Real-time results – see immediately how many members have voted
• Percentage evaluation – clear visualization of voting results
• Named display – see who voted for which option
• Clear presentation – all votes at a glance
• No hidden answers – complete transparency in the ensemble

This transparency is revolutionary for choir organization. Choir directors can immediately see which options are preferred and who hasn't voted yet.

Why Chorilo's Notification System is Unique

• Provide feedback – constructive exchange in the ensemble
• Everyone sees – transparent communication for all

Archiving and Traceability

• Search function – quickly find old messages
• Filter options – filter by date, author, or topic
• Poll history – see past voting results
• Attachments remain available – retrievable even after months

Practical Application Examples

Scenario 1: Concert Date Poll

The choir director wants to find a concert date that works for as many members as possible:

1. Create notification – "Concert date poll for Christmas concert"
2. Add multiple choice poll – with 5 possible dates
3. Attach concert program as PDF – so everyone knows what it's about
4. Send to all – email and push notification go out
5. See results in real-time – which date has the most votes?
6. Make decision – based on transparent results

Scenario 2: Important Rehearsal Information

Short-notice change of rehearsal location:

1. Create urgent notification – "Rehearsal location changed!"
2. Attach directions as PDF – new location with map
3. Simple poll – "Have you received the information?"
4. Immediate notification – everyone is informed via email and push
5. Track responses – who has confirmed the info?

Scenario 3: Repertoire Selection

The ensemble should vote on new pieces:

1. Notification with background – "Which piece for the spring concert?"
2. Sheet music excerpts as attachments – 3 different pieces to choose from
3. Attach audio files – listening examples for each piece
4. Single choice poll – each member chooses their favorite
5. Transparent results – everyone sees which piece is preferred
6. Enable comments – members can justify their choice
