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 page contains Messages application web parts stored in the **Messages** web part category.

#### My messages

The **My messages** web part is an all-in-one messaging web part. It provides exactly the same functionality as the user interface in the Messages application. This web part encapsulates the rest of the messaging web parts in one web part. You can choose which of the components will be included in the **My messages** web part using its **Display inbox**, **Display outbox**, **Display contact list** and **Display ignore list** properties.

#### Other messaging web parts

If you need to add just a particular part of the messaging functionality, you can use one of the other messaging web parts:

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

These web parts can be used separately on any page of the website, providing the same functionality as when the **My messages** web part is used.
