Each group has their own login URL (e.g. http://ourgroup.convos.com) and private email address (e.g. ourgroup@convos.com) that are only available to group members. Add your own logos to the group's login page, web application, and member invitations for a completely custom, group-branded experience.

With Convos, you can organize subsets of your group's membership into full-function subgroups. They work just like regular groups and they're great for both permanent and ad-hoc activities like project teams, departments, and membership tiers. You can create as many subgroups as you need and they're easy to set up. Simply create the subgroup and add members from the main group.

Every group and subgroup comes with a suite of simple, powerful modules to communicate, plan, and share with members. All modules come standard and you can easily hide and reorder them to meet the needs of your group and subgroups.

	Group Messages to communicate via email Send group messages through a custom email address and allow members to reply from email.			Group Events to plan activities Keep a central group schedule, send event invites to your members, and collect RSVPs via email.
	Group Tasks to assign to-do's Create group tasks and allow members to manage them in their to-do list.			Group Files to share and organize files Upload, organize, and share files with your members.
	Group Pages to share content Create simple pages using a WYSIWYG editor and share them with group members.			Member Directory to share member information Share member profile information with the group and allow members to communicate directly.
	Group Feedback to collect responses Ask questions from your members and aggregate their responses in one place.			Items to Approve to moderate messages Control which messages are sent to everyone in a group (moderated listserv).

With member profiles, you can collect information from members of your group and subgroup. Ask questions and allow members to enter text or select choices from custom drop-down lists, radio buttons, and checkboxes. Each member is asked to complete their member profile when they join the group and you can display select member profile information in the Member Directory.

When you communicate with your members, messages are automatically forwarded to their preferred email address. Members can reply to group messages, RSVP to group events, and respond to group feedback requests all from their own email client. There's no need to log in to participate.
