Conversations
Every client and every staff member has a dedicated conversation feed on which a full history of messages received and sent can be seen. Messages sent via the conversation feed can be delivered via Text Message, Email, or both. They can also be viewed in the Client Portal or Staff Dashboard by the respective recipient.

Private Messages
Private messages are only visible to administrators and the client. Staff will never see or be notified of a client's private messages.
Email Campaigns
You can also send group emails to both staff and clients. These are great for company-wide announcements that need to be seen by a large number of people. For example, you might want to send an email blast to all clients announcing a price increase.
