M v5.0 C v15.0

This block is relatively simple to use, but it requires a decent understanding of Communications in Rock.

Setup

For this block to work correctly, you must pass in a valid EntitySetGuid page parameter. This will populate the list of recipients that receive the communication. The EntitySetType should be of Person.

You can generate these EntitySetGuid parameters auto-magically, using the Group Member List block.
