Using The Client Conversation Feed
Every client has a dedicated Conversation Feed where you can communicate directly with each client. The Conversation Feed will store a complete history of every message sent and received.
By default, messages sent through the client's Conversation Feed will be delivered by email. If your company has Text Messaging enabled, these messages can also be delivered by text message. Similarly, if you have Text Messaging enabled, your client can text your company number, and the message will be automatically added to their Conversation Feed.
