# UDP Send

## Overview

![The UDP Send Node.](/files/uIG8uj606K9uEGondIFx)

**UDP Send** takes a `Message` and passes it through the currently established *UDP* *connection*. This *connection* can be set using the [UDP guideline](/incari-studio/toolbox/communication/udp.md#udp-guideline).

Note that if a *connection* has not been established, a new one will be attempted to be made before sending the `Message`. Because of the nature of *UDP*, this is possible and the `Message` will send after the new *connection* is established.

**UDP Communication** in **Incari** is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the **Plugins Editor**, it will not appear in the **Project Settings** and **UDP Send** will not show up in the [**Toolbox**](/incari-studio/toolbox/overview.md). Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](/incari-studio/modules/plugins.md) to find out more information..

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**.
