Access the message dashboard:

The message dashboard provides:

  • Private messages: Custom messages you create, accessible only in your account.

  • Public messages: Provided by RACEMAP and available for all users.

Key features:

  • Ownership control: Private messages can be applied only to devices you own or can edit. These messages cannot be shared with borrowers.

  • Template ID: Each template is assigned a unique templateId, which is required when sending messages from external systems.

  • Export your private messages as GeoJSON files for external use.
