Getting started with messages

Cozi messages give you an easy way to send messages to the members of your family. Need everyone home in time for pizza? Need to send a short reminder to just your spouse? From the help area of your Cozi home page, you can compose your message, and quickly choose who to send it to and how you want it sent (via email or mobile phone).

At this time, Cozi messages are one-way: they can be sent from Cozi, but your family members cannot reply in email or text back. If you want family members to respond, we suggest telling them how to contact you in the body of your message; for example, "Call me at home."

Sending messages

To send a message:

1. First, make sure you've entered email addresses and mobile phone numbers for each family member who will want to receive messages. See Telling Cozi about your family.

Tip: We currently offer text messaging support in the United States, although some coverage may be offered in other countries. Contact Cozi Customer Support to find out if your phone number has email mapping.

2. On your Cozi home page, locate the help area, type your message in the box, and then click the To line.

3. Select who should receive the message by which delivery method, and then click Send. 

If you are sending the message to a family member's mobile phone and type more than 1000 characters, a message will appear below the text box and the Send button will disabled.  

Up to three text messages can be sent at a time. A character counter appears directly beneath the text box, telling you how many characters long your message is. Please be aware that your mobile phone service provider may charge you for text messages. There is no character limit on email.
