To write to a customer by email or text, including people who aren't on ReadyHelm, see [Customer Email & Texts](https://app.readyhelm.com/guide/pro/customer-messages.html).

**💬 Messages** holds your conversations with owners about their boats: a vessel, a piece of equipment, a service record, a to-do or a mooring inspection.

## Finding a conversation

Search the message text, or filter by boat (**All boats**), type (**Any type**), person (**Anyone**), a date range, or **Has attachment**. Click a result to open the thread beside the list.

## In a thread

- Write a message and attach files.
- Edit or delete your own messages. An edited message is marked **(edited)**.
- **Report** a message that breaks the rules; a ReadyHelm admin reviews it.

Owners see the same thread in their app's Messages page.
