How to Configure and Manage Secure Messenger
Introduction

Secure Messaging is a front-end and server-based approach to enable end-to-end secure communication with your clients and protect sensitive data. Your client can immediately start confidential and authenticated exchanges from any part of the world.    

Once installed, it does not need any future code updates. The Secure Messenger is responsive to desktop and mobile devices, with all the messages and attachments are not stored or cached on the compliant server.  

Secure Messaging on Control Panel

Once your Secure Messenger is created, you can use the following operations in the Control Panel to manage it—Edit, Install Code, Copy, Rename, and Delete. You can also Enable or Disable any Secure Messenger and use a certain condition while configuring the Routing Rules, Triggers, and SLAs.
