One-to-one messages between the worker and the office or their team, on the phone. Messages sent from the web Messages screen arrive here, a push notification announces each new one, and each message shows whether it was delivered and read.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Messages from Quick actions on Home or from the menu. The number beside a conversation is how many are unread.

  2. 2

    Tap a conversation to read and reply.

  3. 3

    Tap the pencil at the top right to start a new message and choose who it goes to.

    Messages, step 3
  4. 4

    Anything sent from the web Messages screen arrives here.

  5. 5

    Under each message you send, Sending, Delivered or Read shows how far it got. If one shows Not delivered, tap it to try again.

  6. 6

    Tapping a new-message notification opens that conversation directly. An open conversation also checks for replies every few seconds.

  7. 7

    In New message, search your team by name. A support worker sees the people who work with the same participants; an administrator sees all active staff.
