Create Messages Using Activity Streams

Overview

As part of the Activity Stream functionality, you can send a direct message to the Activity Stream of a user. Sending a direct message means you can communicate to and collaborate with all your channel partners.

A message to the activity stream will appear in the Activity Stream of the user at the time that you specify it to be sent. They will then be able to log into their portal account and see your message.

Messages are sent directly from the Communications App.

Before You Begin

Log into PRM Admin with commTask Level 1 rights or greater.
