Within VTS Rise, staff members are able to directly message residents and other staff members. These messages are instant and send a notification to the user allowing staff to reply through the platform without needing to disclosing their personal phone number.
In this article, we will cover where staff can send a message, how to send a message, and how staff can create group messages.

Each resident is able to take themselves off the Messaging feature at an individual level through their profile settings.
