FAQs

Is choosing a file enough to send it?

No. The selected file stays in the composer until you choose Send. Uploading and message delivery must both succeed.

Can I attach several files at once?

Inbox accepts one file per message. Send additional files in separate messages after checking each result.

Can I use this to file a repair?

Use Maintenance to create the repair request. For a later message, identify the existing request and its location so the landlord has the context.
