Questions, answered
Will it message supporters without me?
No. Every thank you is left as a draft in Twilio and copied onto a Trello card. It only reaches the supporter after you have read it and approved the send.
How personal is the draft really?
It quotes a line from the message the supporter left and names the membership tier or extra they bought, so you are editing a specific note rather than writing from a blank page.
What about supporters who leave no message?
The draft thanks them by name and references the amount or tier instead, and the Trello card marks it as no message so you know to add a line of your own.
