Message templates are used to send messages to users.
You can send a custom message to one specific user or choose one of the pre-made messages in the form of templates made in this tab.
Once you click on the Message templates you will see a multifunctional list of message templates with additional options. The pre-made message templates can later be selected for sending.

4. Request interaction - if this option is enabled, after sending notification users have to act (i.e. click on one of the CTA buttons). It is available for desktop users only.
5. Silent - also an on/off option, which sends a notification to the user without waking the screen, making a sound and vibration. Applies to mobile users only.
