You can easily send messages and attach items from your account to those messages by using our “Send Message” feature. The “Send Message” link is always located in the blue bar at the top of your screen no matter where you are in your Keep&Share account. When you click on the “Send Message” link, a new pop-up dialog will appear. In this dialog you can choose as many Friends or Share Groups as you would like to send the message to, write your message, and your message will appear in the email inboxes of your friends.

You can either just send an email message to your friends, or you can send a message that has one of your applications (Ex. calendars, documents, photo albums, etc.) or a link to one of your applications attached to the message.

Note: In order for recipients to receive messages from you, they must have "Messages from Others" turned on in their accounts settings and their Account Names must be added to the Share Control for the Photo Album you are sending. This includes sending Photo Albums to individual email addresses.

To send only a message to your friends, follow the steps in the image below:

If you want to send a message with one of your applications attached to the email (for example, a calendar) you will first need to navigate to the item that you want to send and then click on the “Send Message” link in the blue bar. You will also need to make sure the box next to “Attachments” is checked before you send the message. See the image below:

Once you click on the “Send Message” link, the “Send Message” pop-up dialog will open and you will need to make sure that the box next to “Attachments” is checked. See the image below:

Note: If you using the “Send Message” feature while viewing your calendar, “Send Message” will send however many days you are looking at in your current Calendar View. For example, if your current view is 60-day “Event” view, then your “Send Message” feature will send 60 days worth of calendar entries to your message recipients.

When your friends receive the email, all they have to do is click on the link in the email body, and they will be taken directly to your shared information. This email is a great way to help tell your friends about new information in your account.

All emails using the "Send Message" feature have "[email protected]" as the "From" email address. This means when your friends receive the message it will have this email address, and when your friends reply to your "Send Message" it will be from "[email protected]" as well. The only difference is the "From" name will list the person who replied or the person who sent the message. All replies to your "Send Message" will appear in the email address that we have on file for your Keep&Share account.

If you don't see the replies from "Send Message" then you'll need to check your spam for any message from "[email protected]". Be sure to add "[email protected]" to your email address book to prevent these messages from being marked as spam.

Be sure to set the Share Control on the item so your friends will have permission to view it. The “Send Message” feature sends a URL link but it does not set the Share Control so they can view the item.
