3. The client needs to choose the user by providing the list of usernames and then send the message to the selected user.

4. There is a limit for sending outbound i.e. 5 requests/15 mins( per user).

5. Users and clients  will have to enable direct messages from everyone under twitter account privacy settings .If the user has not enabled this setting then we can't send messages to them.

   3. There is a DM events API for getting all messages of the user and whose limit is 5 requests/15 mins (per user).​
