## Message Logging

All messages sent through the platform are documented. Each entry records:

* **Sender Information:** Who sent the message.
* **Date and Time:** When the message was sent.
* **Recipients:** Who received the message.

This record helps maintain a clear communication history for each order.

***

## Important Notes

* **Irreversible Action:**\
  Once a message is sent, it cannot be edited or deleted. Please review your message carefully before sending.
* **Choose Wisely:**\
  Select the proper recipients and delivery methods (email or SMS) to ensure your message reaches the right contacts in the intended format.

***

## Best Practices for Messaging

* **Be Clear and Concise:**\
  Keep your messages straightforward to avoid any misunderstandings.
* **Maintain Professionalism:**\
  Use a professional tone in all communications.
* **Group Updates When Appropriate:**\
  If you have multiple questions or updates, consider consolidating them into one message.

Effective messaging is key to successful signings. Use Notary Everyday’s messaging feature to keep all parties informed and maintain a clear record of your communications regarding each order.
