The Messageing API is a new core system in Moodle to allow communication of messages to users. It's based on the events system, so a module will trigger an event with the attached message data and the message output processor will try to deliver the message to the correct place.

===Setting up a processor===
 
===Sending a Message===
 
Whenever you need to send a message, it should “tell” the system about it.  So, using the message as an example, we first define an object as follows:
 
$eventdata = new object();
$eventdata->component        = 'message';
$eventdata->name            = 'instantmessage';
$eventdata->userfrom        = $userfrom;
$eventdata->userto          = $userto;
$eventdata->subject          = "IM";
$eventdata->fullmessage      = $message;
$eventdata->fullmessageformat = FORMAT_PLAIN;
$eventdata->fullmessagehtml  = '';
$eventdata->smallmessage    = '';
 
Then we post the object as an event and forget about it:
 
events_trigger('message_send', $eventdata);
