Question

Under what circumstances is a Notification sent to fewer contacts than the number of contacts previewed on the Notification page in Resident Connection?

Example:

In an Organization with Resident Connection, a Notification page previews the number of Organization contacts, residents, and businesses targeted (in the screenshot below, for example, 3,762,027 total contacts):

However, the broadcast report may display a smaller number of contacts whom the Notification or Incident targeted (in the screenshot below, for example, only 757,503 total contacts):

Answer

When this happens, it is because not all the residents and businesses selected had the right delivery methods. For example, if only voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) is selected as the Resident Connection delivery method, then the Notification will only reach residents and businesses with VOIP, not those with only a Landline. This reduces the total number of residents and businesses the Notification is sent to.
