The Different Message Boxes

There are a number of different boxes where your messages are kept, based on their status and whether they are outbound messages or inbound. All of these boxes can be accessed via the main navigation bar on the left side of the screen.

Drafts Drafts - Any outgoing message that has not been sent yet is saved in this box. You can save drafts of incomplete messages or messages with errors in them. Draft messages will not have performance reports.
Active Active - This box holds any message that has been sent or scheduled, but has not actually been sent by the server yet, and it holds activated campaigns and inbound flows. Some campaigns and inbound flows will have performance reports.

Active messages can be viewed either as a list (choose the Everything button):

Complete Complete - The messages in this box have been sent by the server and contain performance reports, which are updated regularly.
Inactive Inactive - These messages are inbound flows that have been stopped for the time being. They contain performance reports.
