# Message Center

> Send rich-text notifications to merchants — by ISO group, by specific business, or platform-wide — using the Admin Message Composer.

The **Admin Message Composer** lets ISO admins send formatted in-app notifications to merchant entities under their ISO. Messages are delivered directly to the merchant's Inbox in Taliup HQ.

The composer uses a three-step flow: choose your audience, configure it, then write and send your message.

## Step 1 — Choose your audience

Select one of three audience modes. Switching to a different mode resets all audience and message fields.

| Mode                                | Who receives the message                                              |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **By Group (ISO)**                  | All merchant entities belonging to one or more ISO groups you select. |
| **By Specific Entity**              | One or more individual merchants you search for by name.              |
| **To All Entities (Platform-wide)** | Every merchant entity on the platform, across all ISOs.               |

## Step 2 — Configure your audience

Step 2 adapts to the audience mode you selected.

### By Group (ISO)

</Frame>

| Field                                         | Notes                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **ISO Groups**                                | Required. Search and select one or more ISOs. Multiple ISOs can be selected — messages go to all entities across every selected ISO. |
| **Also include businesses from any sub-ISOs** | Optional. When checked, entities belonging to child ISOs nested under the selected group(s) are also included.                       |

### By Specific Entity

<Frame caption="Step 2 for By Specific Entity: a name search input that shows live results below, with selected businesses appearing as removable pills.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/taliup/S59b-I4t_PWsjpp2/images/taliup-hq/message-center-entity.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=S59b-I4t_PWsjpp2&q=85&s=329d564a0bdd9c5e47cb632c16016ea2" alt="Admin Message Composer with By Specific Entity selected, showing step 2 titled 'Find and Select Businesses — Search for individual businesses to add.' with a pill-shaped Search Business input (Search by name... placeholder) and a Compose Your Message section below" width="1024" height="825" data-path="images/taliup-hq/message-center-entity.png" />
</Frame>

Type at least 2 characters in the **Search Business** field to trigger a live search. Results appear in a dropdown below the input — click any result to add it to the recipient list.

Selected recipients appear as pills beneath the search box. Click the **×** on any pill to remove that business from the recipient list.

### To All Entities (Platform-wide)

<Frame caption="Step 2 for To All Entities: a confirmation warning banner before the Compose Your Message section.">

Please confirm your message before sending.'" width="1024" height="804" data-path="images/taliup-hq/message-center-platform.png" />
</Frame>

No audience configuration is needed. An amber warning banner appears to confirm that the message will be delivered to **every merchant entity on the platform**. Review your message carefully before sending.

<Warning>
  Platform-wide messages cannot be recalled after sending. They are delivered to all merchants regardless of ISO, status, or plan.
</Warning>

## Step 3 — Compose your message

| Field       | Notes                                                                       |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Subject** | Required. Plain text. Appears as the message title in the merchant's Inbox. |
| **Body**    | Required. Rich-text editor with a full formatting toolbar.                  |

The rich-text editor supports:

* Text formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
* Paragraph alignment: left, center, right, justify
* Block types: blockquote, inline code
* Lists: ordered, unordered, indent/outdent
* Text color and background color
* Links, inline images, and tables
* Clear formatting

***

## Sending

Click **Send Message** to deliver the notification. The button shows a spinner and the label changes to **Sending...** while the request is in flight.

On success, the entire form resets to the initial state — the audience selection is cleared and all fields are emptied, ready for the next message.
