# Messages

{% hint style="info" %}
You are viewing a now deprecated featre. We've launched a new Messages system called Broadcasts. It's much more powerful and flexible! [Check it out!](/players/broadcasts.md)
{% endhint %}

The Messages feature in LootLocker allows you to instantly send tailored messages to all your users directly from the Web Console. When a message is retrieved in-game, it includes key details such as title, category, action prompts, and an optional image link. Each message also provides an alert option, a brief summary, a full message body, and a specified publish date. This information gives you complete control over how messages are presented in your game, allowing you to take specific actions, display pop-ups, or schedule messages according to your needs.

### Use Cases

* News & Game Updates
* Server Outages
* Changelogs
* Event notifications
* Game store updates

### How-to

* [Configure Messages in Web Console](/legacy/messages/how-to/configure-messages.md)
* Work with Messages In-Game (coming soon)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lootlocker.com/legacy/messages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
