<IntegrationSection title="Overview" icon="eye">
  iMessage is Apple's messaging experience across the Messages app. Novu Connect
  uses Sendblue to give your existing agent an iMessage presence without
  requiring you to build and maintain the channel integration yourself.
</IntegrationSection>

<IntegrationSection title="How it works" icon="refresh-cw">
  Novu Connect receives iMessage conversations through Sendblue, preserves the
  conversation history, and routes new messages to your agent. Agent responses
  return to the same conversation with support for live typing indicators,
  reply-based actions, MCP approvals, and plain-text connection links.
</IntegrationSection>

<IntegrationSection title="Configure" icon="settings">
From your agent project, run:

`npx novu connect --channel sendblue`

Enter your Sendblue credentials in the CLI, then reply to the test iMessage to verify the connection.
