Linq Blue-How to Send a Text Message to a Single Contact

This guide shows your team how to send a one-to-one text from Gym Lead Machine and make sure it goes out via iMessage (Linq Blue) instead of standard SMS.

Step-by-step

1. Open the contact
   • From your Gym Lead Machine Dashboard, go to Contacts.

   • Click the contact you want to message.

     Open the message composer

   • In the contact record, go to the Conversation box (message area at the bottom/right, depending on your layout).

     Switch the channel to iMessage

   • You’ll see channel options (e.g., SMS, Email, and iMessage).

   • Click/tap iMessage  so it’s highlighted/selected.

     Type and send

   • Type your message in the text box.
   • Click Send.

Heads-up: The system defaults back to the original channel (usually SMS) after a send or when you open another contact. If you want the next message to go via iMessage, toggle iMessage  again before sending.

What you’ll notice

• When iMessage is selected, your message sends through your Linq Blue number using Apple’s iMessage network.
• If iMessage isn’t available for that contact (e.g., Android user), the iMessage option may be hidden or disabled. In that case, use SMS.

That’s it. Keep an eye on the toggle each time so you’re sending through iMessage when you want it.
