# App Messages

## Share important information with your team directly in the web or mobile app.

### Step 1: Navigate to the Messages Setup Page

Go to **Setup** and select **Manage Messages** to open the messages configuration area.

### Step 2: Create New Message

On the Messages page, review any existing messages your company has already posted.  
Click **New Message** to create a new message.

### Step 3: Define the Message Type and Content

Include as much information needed in your message.

- **Type**: choose **Announcement** for text with an optional button, or **Banner** to show an image or GIF with text.
- **Title**: keep it short and clear, for example "Reminder: new coupons go live Saturday, October 10".
- **Body**: the message itself. Use the toolbar for bold text, bullet lists and links.
- **Button label** and **Button link**: optional. Add them if you want people to go somewhere, such as a page in OwlOps. Leave both blank and the message shows no button.
- **Icon**: pick an icon to show on the card.

### Step 4: Set the Message Display Schedule

Specify when the message should be visible to your team.  
Set the **Start** time (for example, to start immediately).

### Step 5: Decide whether people must confirm they've read it

- **Require acknowledgement**: people must click **I have read this**. The message has no close button and keeps showing until they do.
- **Ask again after**: optionally, ask people to acknowledge it again after a number of days. Leave it blank to ask only once.
- **Block the app until acknowledged**: shows the message full screen until the person acknowledges it.

### Step 6: Set Priority and Choose who sees it

Assign a **priority** to determine where this message appears relative to other messages (leave blank for it to appear first, or specify a position such as underneath another message).  
Select the platforms where the message should appear, such as **Web and Mobile**.

### Step 8: Add Attachments, Preview, and Save

Attach any relevant files that should accompany the message (such as detailed instructions or supporting documents).

When you are satisfied with the configuration, use the **Preview** option at the top to see how the message will appear to users.

If everything looks correct, click **Save**. The message will go live according to the schedule you set and will appear in both the web and mobile apps for the selected audience.
