The account is shared across every demo in the showroom, so items and currency you get in one demo carry over to the others. Loading takes a moment. If the frame is too small, open the demo in a new tab. ## Overview Have an operator announcement and a gift with coins attached delivered to your own inbox, then open them. Delivered messages appear unread under **Your inbox** and turn read once opened. Opening the gift pays its 100 coins into the wallet under **Where the coins land**. ## How to try it 1. Press **Deliver** under **An announcement you can have delivered**; an unread message reading "Welcome to the GS2 inbox demo!" arrives in **Your inbox**. Each press delivers one more message. 1. Press **Open** on a message in **Your inbox**; it turns read and shows **Opened.** in place of the button. 1. Press **Deliver** under **A gift with coins attached** (**Carries 100 coins.**); a message reading "A gift from the operator: 100 coins." arrives. 1. Press **Open** on the gift message; **Free balance** under **Where the coins land** goes up by 100. **Deliver** here does not receive the announcement the way a client normally would; it sends a fresh copy through an exchange, so every press delivers another message. ## GS2 services used - [GS2-Inbox](/microservices/inbox/): GS2-Inbox holds the player's inbox and whether each message is read. The gift message carries a GS2-Money2 deposit as its reward for opening, which runs when the message is opened. - [GS2-Exchange](/microservices/exchange/): Two free GS2-Exchange rates define the transactions behind the **Deliver** buttons, which send the announcement and the gift message to GS2-Inbox. Delivered messages expire after 7 days. - [GS2-Money2](/microservices/money2/): The GS2-Money2 wallet (slot 0) receives the gift's 100 free coins when the gift message is opened. ## Use it in GS2 Studio In GS2 Studio's Simple mode, open **Add features** and press **Add** on **Inbox** to bring this feature into your own project.
