Direct Messages are a type of "light inbox" that allows members of the Amplenote community to communicate on behalf of collaboration and goal pursuit.
linkMessaging a member
There are two main ways to message members. One is to send a message to users who have been recently active, in the sidebar of the "Social" homepage.
The other option is to visit a user's profile, and click the link to send a message:
Message a user from their profile page
linkControlling whether you can receive messages
Only users with a profile can be messaged.
Once a user has set up a profile, they can edit the profile to control both whether they can be messaged, and whether an Amplenote Direct Message should trigger an email.
