Messages

Keep private communication tied to a real job, booking, or support case.

ShutterBid should avoid open-ended inbox noise. The messaging surface is organized around protected conversations that matter to marketplace trust.

Booking coordination

Protected

Unlocked after a client accepts a bid so timing, location details, and delivery expectations stay tied to the job.

Tracked

Used for billing, account, safety, and cancellation questions that need an operator trail.

Private

Reserved for moderation, approval, and account deletion requests so sensitive actions are auditable.

Current inbox

New messages should appear from accepted bookings, support requests, report follow-ups, and admin review activity.
