Message
Message is a general logging utility for Drupal. It provides a message content entity and configurable message templates so you can record system events—such as content creation, comments, or user registration—and display them as activity streams or elsewhere on the site.

Message is the core of a broader stack:
- Message Notify — send messages via notifier plugins (for example email or SMS)
- Message Subscribe — notify users who subscribe to content (typically with Flag)
These modules are optional and not required to use Message itself.
Requirements
- Drupal 9.2+, 10, 11, or 12
- The core Text module
Enabling the Token module is recommended. It provides additional tokens and a token browser on message template forms.
