title: Silent Messages
---
Sometimes you want to add system or transactional messages to channels such as: "your ride is waiting for you",
"James updated the information for the trip", "You and Jane are now matched" and so on.
You may not want these messages to mark a channel as unread or increase the unread messages for users.
Silent messages are special messages that don't increase the unread messages count nor mark a channel as unread.
Creating a silent message is very simple, you only need to include the silent field boolean field and set it to true.
```dart
final text = 'You completed your trip';
const message = {
text: text,
user: systemUser,
silent: true,
attachments: tripAttachments,
};
await channel.sendMessage(message);
```
<b>Notes: </b>
1. Existing messages cannot be turned into a silent message or vice versa.
2. Silent messages do send push notifications by default. To skip our push notification service,
mark the message with `skip_push: true`.
