I have a conversation (DM like) feature I am trying to include in my app. I modeled it after the “Medical Centre” app that was allowed for copy a few weeks back. (Anyone know who’s app that is?) Anyway, the conversations work, but only one -sided. I have 2 apps that use the same sheets so that users on each app can communicate. Anyone know how I can make the conversations two way. Currently, if a student contacts the recruiter, both their emails show up in the array (row owners). But if a recruiter contacts a student, the recruiter’s email shows up twice in the array (student is not a rowowner). Can more than one rowowner contribute to a row or no? TIA! ---

Hi Renee, gonna refer to this post, which include both Ben Tossell’s Medical Centre and @Robert_Petitto’s Messenger app. > [@Makerpad healthcare/messaging app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/makerpad-healthcare-messaging-app/5720): > > Ben Tossell & I put together this app today with a technique we learned from @Robert_Petitto which allows you to create an approximation of a messenger-like experience. You can check out Robert’s original here: [https://messenger.glideapp.io/](https://messenger.glideapp.io/) ---

Thanks… I figured it out! The signed in user’s email should be using the special email component while the user they are sending a message to should be using the “email column” component. Unfortunately, I literally deleted that tab and started ALL over before figuring that out. Oh well… it’s working now! Thanks again! ---
