Contacts Page
On the contacts page, as well as many other pages, we'll see three dots [...], also called an ellipsis, next to a contact. If we click on that, we'll be provided with many options. Within these options includes 'Send a Text' and 'Send an Email', among many other options.
In our case, we'll choose 'Send Text'. Next, the Send Text drawer will open for us to write a text message to this contact. Once complete, we'll click 'Send SMS'. This will send the text and return us to back to the Contacts page.
Sending an email follows this same process. To learn more about the Contacts page and how it works, click here.

Contact Detail
Buttons for starting a new text message or email are located in two different places on a Contact's detail view. The upper-right buttons and the lower-left buttons under the Communication History.
Each button will open their respective sending drawer for sending.

Transactions Page
Much like the Contacts page, sending a text message or email can be initiated by clicking the three dots [...], also called an ellipsis, next to a contact. However, in addition to one contact, we can do so on any contact linked to a transaction. This includes: Borrower, Co-Borrower, Buying Agent, Selling Agent and many more.
In the image below, we clicked the ellipsis next to the Buying Agent. This shows all of the options that we can apply to this contact without ever having to open/view it. From here, we could send a text or email to any contact linked to any transaction.
