You can send and receive secure messages from/to staff and participants anytime from within the app by pressing the Messages icon located at the top of your screen.
Messages are automatically displayed on the recipient's app who can then read them and reply. An email or sms notification such as the one below can be sent automatically to each message recipient. The way notifications are sent is explained at the end of this tutorial.
