Tips for effective use

• Use Message for quick one-to-one communication with a member.
• Keep your message short and specific so the recipient can respond quickly.
• Add recognisable context (a date, subject or appointment) when referring to an activity or event.

Good to know

• You start the conversation from the member profile with the Message button.
• You can reopen the chat later via Chats in the menu.
