# Creating Message Types

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

You can create new message types from the **<host>** page or by using the Message Flow wizard.

## Create a Message Type from the Host Page

To create a message type from the **<host>** page:

1.  In the sidebar, select **<host-name>**.

2.  From the **Message types** section, click **New**.

3.  In the **Usage** drop-down list, select the message usage.

4.  Add values to the remaining settings.

    For setting descriptions, see the topic that corresponds to the message type usage:

    - [Receive from Partners Message Type Settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/message-type-receive-from-partners)

    - [Send to Partners Message Type Settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/message-type-send-to-partners)

    - [Target at Host Message Type Settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/message-type-target-at-host)

    - [Source at Host Message Type Settings](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/message-type-source-at-host)

After you create Receive from Partners and Source at Host message types, you can add up to five
custom message attributes to them. For information, see
[Using Custom Message Attributes with Message Types](https://docs.mulesoft.com/partner-manager/latest/use-custom-attributes).

## Create a Message Type by Using the Message Flow Wizard

To create a message type by using the Message Flow Wizard, see
