# Grammarly Integration for SMS Composition

> Install the Grammarly browser extension to catch typos, grammar mistakes, and tone issues while composing SMS messages and templates in MessageDesk.

# Grammarly integration

Check spelling, grammar, and tone as you compose messages in MessageDesk using **Grammarly**, a free browser extension that works anywhere you type.

<Note>
  MessageDesk doesn't include built-in spell check. Grammarly is a third-party tool that adds this functionality to your browser.

## What Grammarly does

Grammarly checks your writing in real time as you type in MessageDesk:

* **Spelling:** catches typos and misspelled words.
* **Grammar:** flags grammatical errors and suggests corrections.
* **Punctuation:** identifies missing or incorrect punctuation.
* **Tone:** analyzes your message tone (friendly, formal, confident, etc.).
* **Clarity:** suggests ways to make your writing clearer and more concise.

Corrections appear as underlined suggestions directly in the compose field. Click a suggestion to accept it, or ignore it to keep your original text.
