# send_message

> Send an SMS or email to a lead, as the authenticated agent.

<Warning>**WRITE** · 2 operations · may change data</Warning>

Send an SMS or email **to a lead**, as the authenticated agent.

```js theme={null}
send_message({ channel: "sms" | "email", lead_id, body, subject?, confirm_token })
```

<Warning>
  Recipients are always leads. To reach a teammate, use [`notify_agent`](/mcp/tools/notify-agent) — the two take near-identical arguments and point in opposite directions, which is exactly why they're separate tools.
</Warning>
