# Message of the Day

The Message of the Day (MOTD) lets you post announcements that appear on your clients' dashboards. Use it for weekly reminders, motivational messages, or important updates.

## Creating a Message

1. Navigate to **Settings > Message of the Day**
2. Click **Create**
3. Fill in the form:

![MOTD create form](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/9/1/6/8/916842d9772b4800/messaging-motd-add_nffs4a.png)

- **Message** — the content your clients will see. The editor supports bold, italic, underline, numbered and bulleted lists, links, and font colors.
- **Date** — the date the message should appear. You can schedule messages for today or any future date. Past dates are not allowed.
- **Services** — which services this message applies to. Only clients on the selected services will see it.
- **Coaches** — which coaches' clients should see this message. This field is only visible to admins and owners — coaches automatically see their own messages.

4. Click **Save**

## Managing Messages

All your messages are listed on the **Settings > Message of the Day** page.

The table shows the creator, date, message preview, assigned coaches, and services for each message. Use the **edit** and **delete** buttons on the right to manage your messages.

You can only edit or delete messages you created.

## What Clients See

When a client logs in, the Message of the Day appears on their dashboard as a highlighted block.

If multiple messages apply (for example, from different coaches), the highest-priority message is shown — owner messages take priority over admin messages, which take priority over coach messages.

## Tips

- **One message per service per date** — you can't create two messages for the same service on the same day
- **Messages don't expire automatically** — a message stays visible until a newer one replaces it for that service. To remove a message without replacing it, delete it from the list
- **Use formatting** — bold key dates or action items to make your message stand out
- **Schedule ahead** — set a future date to queue up messages in advance
