Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to allow users of specific roles to send messages to each other.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I saw many posts on the forum about the mesaggin module, however I'm looking if there's something more up to date or recommendations on how to do that.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
No
What is the link to your site?
Not deployed yet.

Hello,

I suggest you follow our document to setup the "Messaging system" in your website.
https://toolset.com/modules/messaging-system/
And you can use Toolset Access plugin to specify user roles to the custom post type "Message":

And control the access to "Message" post forms by user roles:

Thank you for the support, I understand how the messaging system works. However, the module says that it requires 'Toolset Views' while I'm using Toolset Blocks.
So I'm not sure if all of the functionalities will work with Toolset Blocks.

Kindly advice, thank you

Toolset Blocks plugin is advanced version of Toolset Views plugin, so you can install Toolset Blocks instead of Toolset Views plugin.

And enable classic editor by these:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General

in section "Editing experience", enable option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build".
