title: Adding the messaging functionality to the live site

> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

You can find the Messages application functionality also on the live site. This is because the respective pages contain **Messages application web parts, available** **in the Messaging web part category**.

## My messages

The **My messages** web part is the all-in-one messaging web part. The web part encapsulates other messaging web parts in a single web part. It provides the same functionality as the Messages application available in the administration interface. While configuring the web part, you can choose which of its components will be displayed using the properties in the **Design** section - **Display inbox**, **Display outbox**, **Display contact list**, and **Display ignore list**.

## Other messaging web parts

If you need to add to a page just a particular Messaging application function, you can use the following web parts:

- **Contact list** - allows users to add other users to their contact lists, and remove users from these lists.
- **Ignore list** - allows users to define which users they don't receive any messages from.
- **Inbox** - shows users a list of received messages, and allows them to reply to and delete these messages.
- **Messaging info panel** - displays links to the Inbox, Outbox, etc.
- **Outbox** - shows users a list of sent messages, and allows them to delete these messages.
- **Send message** - allows users to send messages.

The web parts can be used separately on any page of the website. The web parts provide the same functionality like the **My messages** web part.
