# How can I contact teachers, educators, or group leaders?

## You can contact the institution's staff through the chat or messaging function.

### **1. How can I contact teachers, educators, and group leaders through messages?**

*Use the messaging function for important, formal, or sensitive content. Messages can be archived and exported if necessary.*

1. Open the app.
2. Select the class/group in which you want to create a message.
3. You will usually be directed to the **"Messages"** section. You can switch between different sections (Messages, FoxDrive, etc.) via the navigation menu.
4. Click on the icon in the bottom right corner to send a **new message** or an **absence notification**.
5. Add a **subject** and **message** text.
6. You can attach a file and add a date to your message.
7. In the next step, select the **recipients**. You can choose all the people assigned to the class/group as potential recipients.
8. After sending the message by clicking "**Send**", you will see it in your inbox.

### **2. How can I contact teachers, educators, and group leaders through chats?**

*Use chats when you want to exchange short, informal content with the institution's staff.*

1. Open the app.
2. Select a class/group to display the **chat function** in the bottom navigation menu.
3. Click on the **plus sign** to start a new chat.

5. You can filter participants by role and class/group or display them using the search function.
6. Add a **subject** and, if necessary, a **description** text for the new chat. The description text does not serve as the first message, but rather informs participants about the purpose of the chat.
7. After clicking **"Create"** the chat will open.
