Tribe Home offers a messaging platform to send or receive one-on-one/group messages to other members of your community.

Note: If your Tribe Home Community uses Help Desk, please communicate with Administrators via Help Desk instead of using the Message feature.

Similar to email, the messages stay within Tribe Home, notifying the recipient via email that they have received new correspondence. You can also add other community members to the thread, creating mini-private forums. 

All messages are private to only the people on the message thread.  Community Administrators and Tribe Support cannot view messages in Tribe Home.

To get started, click on the Messages icon in your navigation panel.

• New and unread messages have a yellow numbered icon beside the messages as well as the messages tab upon logging into Tribe Home.
  

Your Inbox, Simplified

Once you have clicked on your messages tab, you'll be taken to your inbox. Your inbox will look like the image below.

• Within your inbox you will see on the left beside a message thread a yellow indicator with a number - this will show you how many new messages have been received on the thread or if it is a new thread.
• In the bold black text, you will see the title of the message - ex. "Wrong car parked".
• You'll notice in this example the number "2" with a person icon - this means two people are involved in this message thread.
• We can also see the last time this thread was active simply by looking at the data in the "Last Activity" column.

Who's In My Thread?
