# How to Send a Text Message

Communicate with leads directly using the Message Center feature on Schola!

Hover your mouse over the blue menu bar on the left-hand navigation in your Schola Admin profile. Once the menu pops out, click on Communication Hub, and you’ll be taken to the Message Center page where you can send direct email and text messages to leads that are in the Relationship Manager.

Once you’re on the Messages page, you’ll see Stage and Sort By drop down options at the top.

The Stage dropdown defaults to All leads from the Relationship Manager. By clicking the drop down in the Stage category, you can select the specific lead-flow category you wish to contact.
