Use the Message element to send a message during your call flow. For instance, if you want to send out an SMS notification when you receive an incoming call on your Plivo number, you can use the <Message> element in your application.

To receive a message, you must set a message URL in your Plivo application via the API or in the Plivo console at Messaging > Applications.
