Sending your first message
Compose a message, pick recipients, hit send. 30 seconds.
When you'd use this
You need to tell your tour manager about a schedule change, send the merch guy an updated setlist, or ping the venue booker about arrival time.
Steps
- Tap the message icon in the top nav (desktop: top-right; mobile: same spot, tap the chat bubble).
- Click Compose. The contact picker opens.
- Pick recipients by section: Venues / Team / Booking agents / Vendors. You can pick multiple. If it's a group thread, everyone sees the whole thread.
- Type your subject (optional but recommended — helps threads show up in search). If you skip it, Mintoor auto-fills based on the first message text.
- Type your message. Supports Markdown (bold, italic, bullet lists, links). Supports @mentions if you type @ and pick someone in the thread.
- Attach files if needed — drag and drop, or click the paperclip. PDFs, images, audio snippets, MP4 video. 25 MB per file max, up to 10 files per message.
- Send. The thread appears in your Messages list. Recipients get a push or email based on their notification preferences.
Keyboard shortcuts (desktop)
- Cmd/Ctrl + Enter — send
- Cmd/Ctrl + K — add attachment
- @ — start mentioning someone
- Esc — close compose
What shows up for recipients
Your message appears:
- In-app: the bell icon lights up, thread appears in their Messages inbox.
- Push notification: if they have the app installed and notifications enabled.
- Email: summary email with a link to reply (unless they've muted emails for the thread).
Recipients reply inline — no forwarding, no thread forks.
Markdown quick reference
**bold**→ bold*italic*→ italic[link](https://mintoor.com)→ link- item→ bulleted list> quote→ blockquote
Code blocks (triple backtick) also render, which is useful for sharing setlists or stage plots.
Attachments: what recipients see
- Images render inline.
- PDFs show a preview card; click to download.
- Audio plays with inline player (good for sharing rough mixes, setlist demos).
- Video plays inline for MP4; other formats link-out.
Still stuck?
- Can't find a contact? They must be in your Mintoor contact tree first. See How Mintoor messaging works.
- Attachment failing? Check file size (under 25 MB) and format. Try re-compressing images.
