With our Inbox feature, you can send private messages with specific content to your app users individually. They receive your direct messages in their app Inbox, and they can answer to it (goes to your email).
The users can answer to the messages, just like with emails.
You can add videos, images, and attachments to your messages. This feature is useful in many cases for example: restaurants to confirm reservation; doctors to send a medical file to a patient, etc.
