### Sending Messages from the Dashboard

The Activity Panel includes a **Message** button for quick messaging:

1. Click **Message** in the Activity Panel
2. Select recipients from the grid (use **Select All** or pick individually)
3. Type your message (up to 1,000 characters)
4. Click **Send**

### Job-Specific Messages

You can also send messages linked to specific jobs from the job's Communications tab or the mobile app's Messages tab.

### Mobile Messaging

On the mobile app, the **Messages** tab in the bottom navigation shows:

* **Inbox** — Received messages with an unread count badge
* **Sent** — Messages you have sent

Messages are grouped by date with headers like "Today", "Yesterday", or the specific date.

**Composing on mobile:**

1. Tap the **New Message** button (pencil icon)
2. Search and select recipients (shown as removable chips)
3. Type your message
4. Tap **Send**

### Unread Indicators

Unread messages are marked with a blue dot. The Messages tab badge shows the total unread count.

### Dismissing Messages

On mobile, swipe left on any inbox message to reveal the **Dismiss** button. This removes the message from your inbox view.
