How do I send and manage private messages?

< 1 min read

BoardSite Messages provides private conversations between BoardSite members.

Start a conversation #

  1. Open Members and select Messages, or use the message icon in the header.
  2. Select New Message.
  3. Search for and select a member in To.
  4. Optionally enter a subject.
  5. Enter a message of up to 10,000 characters.
  6. Review the recipient and content, then select Send Message.

New Message form with recipient, subject, and message fields

Use the inbox #

Open a conversation from Inbox to read or continue it. The Inbox can show an unread count. Move conversations that no longer need immediate attention to Archived; archiving organizes the inbox and is not the same as deleting a message. If no conversation has been archived, the Archived tab displays an empty state.

Privacy note: send confidential board information only to the intended member. Verify the recipient before sending, and use Documents with the appropriate permissions for controlled file access.
