Whether you're coordinating with a co-interpreter or checking in with a customer —sending a message in PAH! is quick and easy.

 

Here’s how:

 

1. **Go to the Messages tab** in the app
2. Tap the **“Create Chat”** button
3. Start typing the name of the person you want to message
4. Select them from the list and hit send!

You could create:

- **1:1 chats** for private convos
- **Group chats** (great for team bookings or pods)

 

📣 **Important:** You’ll need to know the person’s **profile name** to find them. (No contact lists or phone syncing here—we keep it simple and secure.)

 

As an interpreter, you can message *anyone else* using the app. So whether you’re planning, prepping, or just checking in, the lines are always open. 🙌

 

And don’t forget—you can also message the **PAH! Team** directly in the app. Just search **“PAH! Team”** and pop into our DMs anytime. Whether it’s a tech hiccup or you just want to say hi—we love hearing from you! 💙
