# Text Conversation View

### Conversational View

Communication isn’t a one-way street. To ensure effective two-way communication, Salesmate CRM includes a Conversation view for text messages. To view the Conversation screen, follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to the **Left Menu** bar and click the **Text** icon.

You will find the following options under the View:

* **All**-**Inbox**-**Scheduled**-**Sent**-**Outbox**-**Failed**-**Templates**---

### All

With **All**, you can view every sent and received message within a single view.
