MarketPlaceTown - messages

Messages remain protected while commercial records stay connected.

MarketPlaceTown messaging will eventually help buyers and sellers coordinate safely. For now, inboxes, conversation bodies, replies, reports, blocks, attachments, notifications, and message creation remain closed. Participant-private Exchange Contracts and controlled work orders can still be shown here as read-only communication context, with every commercial decision remaining inside its dedicated controller.

Messaging remains closed and read-only.

This page does not write to the database, expose private conversations, send messages, create notifications, open offers, create orders, or mutate commercial state. It may show participant-private work-order context only when the active TownConnect identity is the exact buyer or authorized seller manager. Agreement changes, payment evidence, scheduling, fulfilment approvals, corrections, final release, and completion remain in their dedicated controllers.

Message status

Your inbox will open in a later release

The private message inbox is intentionally not displayed yet. Before users can create or reply to conversations, messaging needs its own controlled workflow with CSRF protection, authorization, rate limits, moderation rules, reporting, blocking, notification rules, and live testing.

Messages will require a TownConnect account. You can browse the controlled marketplace preview now. Buyer/seller messages, replies, reports, and blocks will open only after the future messaging workflow is built and approved.
