# User Profile Photo Messages

Let your customers know who to expect! You can send the assigned user's profile photo along with a customer communication SMS in the FieldPulse mobile app. This is available when sending SMS via your native phone, and can't be used with automatic communication triggers at this time.

When on the Customer record, select the green *Actions* button.

After selecting the green *Actions* button, locate where it says *Send Customer Communication*.

Did you know you can send a text to your customers when you're on the way, sharing your real time vehicle location and ETA?

To send a location tracking text, begin by clicking on the job you're heading to.

If this is your first time sending a trip tracking message, you'll be able to create and save a default trip tracking message. When you're satisfied with the message, press *Save*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX/static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/08.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX&q=85&s=8ea2d15ca477aa73f89a66fc52c538f3" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="2602" data-path="static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/08.png" />

You may receive a message regarding your location sharing settings like this one. FieldPulse needs to have access to your location in order to accurately share trip tracking information with your customer. Navigate to your device's settings in order to enable location services.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX/static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/09.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX&q=85&s=47faa88513c1da38ef129aa7e9ac29b9" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="2602" data-path="static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/09.png" />

You can now adjust the time estimate provided to your customer, as well as take a look at the message again before sending.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX/static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/10.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=y6BnIHhsTFKEYqVX&q=85&s=ca8f37c8a13d6fea48d8fe23faa393d8" alt="Sending a customer SMS with the assigned user's profile photo attached" width="374" height="390" data-path="static/images/_api/2517252-customer-communications-mobile-app/10.png" />

You will be prompted to send the text either from the FieldPulse app or from your device's messaging system. **Please note that if you choose your device's messaging system, the text will be sent from your phone number.** You also can check the box if you would like to include a photo of your team member.
