About This Feature
Direct messaging within a community enhances personal connections and private communication. This feature enables all members to send personalized messages and address individual concerns. It fosters one-on-one connections and encourages a supportive community environment.
How It Works
Admins can enable or disable the Direct Messages function for the whole community by going to Admin > Appearance > Sidebar and toggle on/off the “Direct Message.”
Direct messages could be:
- 1:1 private messages
- Group messages
