Messaging

Residents can message or text with their contacts. Share audio, photo or video messages

Contacts who are app-capable can use the Speak2 Community app to send text, record their voice, send an audio file, record video, or send an image to Alexa in the resident apartment, and the resident can “text” back using Alexa.

To “text” back and forth with Alexa, one must use the Speak2 Community app. There is one relationship manager, and the relationship manager can invite unlimited contacts to join. 

1. Search for the Resident name or apartment number
2. Go to "App Entered". Enter the contact's cell phone number and email.
   1. They will receive a text message invite. There will be a link to the app and a one-time 4 digit code. They will download the app and click Sign Up to create an account. 
   2. They enter their name, phone number, create a password, and the one-time 4 digit code. 
   3. They will click Accept Terms & Conditions.

How to Message Alexas from the Community app
