# Send-RDMMessage

### Synopsis

Write a new secure message.

### Syntax

#### NewMessage (Default)

```
Send-RDMMessage [-To] <PSBasicUserWrapper[]> [-Subject] <string> [[-Body] <string>]
 [-Attachment <Object[]>] [-CaseSensitive] [-ExpiresIn <int>] [-ExpiresOn <datetime>]
 [-ForcePromptAnswer <DialogResult[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

#### Reply

```
Send-RDMMessage [-ReplyTo] <DataSourceMessage> [[-Body] <string>] [-Subject <string>]
 [-Attachment <Object[]>] [-CaseSensitive] [-ExpiresIn <int>] [-ExpiresOn <datetime>]
 [-ForcePromptAnswer <DialogResult[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Write a message. The workspace must be a Devolutions Server or Devolutions Cloud.

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> Send-RDMMessage 'FirstName LastName' 'ASubject' 'AMessage'
```

Send a secure message to 'FirstName LastName' about 'ASubject'. The detail of the message is 'AMessage'.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> $entryA = Get-RDMPrivateSession -Name 'entryA'; $file = New-RDMMessageAttachment -File -Path "C:\mypath\filename.extension"; Send-RDMMessage -To 'Person A', 'Person B' -Subject 'Why' -Body 'AMessage' -Attachment $entryA, $file
```

Fetch a private entry and create a file attachment. Send a secure message to Person A and Person B about 'Why'. The detail of the message is 'AMessage' and two attachments, 'entryA' and the file, are attached.

#### Example 3

```powershell
PS C:\> Receive-RDMMessage -From 'First Last' -SentOn Today -Subject 'Required Connection'| Send-RDMMessage -Body 'Thank you'
```

Send a reply to the message 'First Last' sent today about 'Required Connection' to thank him. The subject will be 'Re: Required Connection' and the body, 'Thank you'

#### Example 4

```powershell
PS C:\> Send-RDMMessage -To 'person A' -Subject 'ASubject' -Attachment 'anEntry' -CaseSensitive
```

Send a message to 'person A' with the attachment 'anEntry'. The user Person A won't be found.

#### Example 5

```powershell
PS C:\> $entry = Get-RDMPrivateSession -Name AnEntry; Send-RDMMessage -To 'Person A' -Subject 'ASubject' -Attachment $entry
```

Fetch a private entry with the cmdlet Get-RDMPrivateSession. It is pointless to modify the stored entry because it will be fetched by its ID. After that, a message will be sent to Person A with the attachment AnEntry.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/send-rdmmessage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
