How to use it

Threads are linked to a shipment or a driver, so the conversation about a late truck sits next to the truck. The inbox shows unread counts; open a thread to read and reply.

A message is always posted as you; the database refuses a message with someone else as the author. Viewers can read threads but not post.

Messages to drivers are stored only. In this build nothing is sent by SMS or email; the app shows a "would send" notice instead.

Integrations

The Integrations page in Messages lists the connectors below and the status of each. Owners and admins connect them; everyone else sees them read-only. Every connector is a mock in this build. See Connections for auth and plans.

  • Twilio · Messaging. SMS to drivers, and their replies back into the thread.
  • WhatsApp Business · Messaging. Driver threads over WhatsApp.
  • Resend · Messaging. Email to customers and carriers from a thread.
  • Slack · Alerts. Exceptions posted to an ops channel.
