# Messaging Subscribers

### How VAULT Messaging Works

VAULT has an internal messaging system that allows Network Administrators and Venue Administrators to message subscribers. This guide is for Network Administrators. Click [here ](/venue-administrator-console/venue-administrator-dashboard/message-subscribers.md)for Venue Administrators.

When a message is sent to a subscriber, the subscriber will receive the relevant e-mail based on your [e-mail templates](/network-administrator-console/network-operator-settings/e-mail-templates.md), informing them they have a message. The subscriber is asked to log in to view the message. Upon login, the message will popup and the subscriber will be required to acknowledge the message to continue to the [subscriber console](/subscriber-console/subscriber-console-introduction.md).

### Why Do Subscribers Have to Log In to View a Message?

VAULT captures the acceptance and acknowledgment of messages sent to subscribers. You can view this status and acceptance date from the Messages tab of the [Subscriber Details](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/view-and-modify-subscriber-details.md#how-to-find-a-subscriber-and-subscription-in-vault) page. By requiring subscribers to log in, we are able to record that acceptance.

### How to Message a Single Subscriber

Navigate to the [Subscriber Details](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/view-and-modify-subscriber-details.md#how-to-find-a-subscriber-and-subscription-in-vault) page. From there, click the "Messages" tab. Click "Send Message," and enter your message subject and content. Click "Send" to send the message.

### How to Message Multiple Subscribers

In order to message multiple subscribers, Network Administrators will need to [step down](/network-administrator-console/how-to-change-roles.md) to the Venue Administrator role and [Message Subscribers](/venue-administrator-console/venue-administrator-dashboard/message-subscribers.md).

### How to View When a Message is Read

Navigate to the [Subscriber Details](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/view-and-modify-subscriber-details.md#how-to-find-a-subscriber-and-subscription-in-vault) page. From there, click the "Messages" tab. Here you will see a list of messages and, if the message has been read, the time at which the subscriber read the message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roamingiq.com/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/messaging-subscribers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
