Is it possible to attempt to use Intimidate on someone you communicate with using a message cantrip? What about with the telepathy spell?
My end goal is for someone to use a 17th level crystal ball which allows you to use telepathy when you scry. If they know the subject's True Name, would they be able to use the Revel True Name skill feat against someone they are scrying on? I've given a modified version of the crystal ball where they can use message on someone they are scrying on. Just need some advice on when they can do what. Thanks.

I'm assuming you are trying to use Coerce, not Demoralize.
Demoralize has a requirement of the target creature with a range of only 30 feet, so Message wouldn't really be needed.
Coerce says that you have to be able to see the target. And that they can either see or sense you. You also have to be in conversation for at least 1 minute. So I guess if you and the target can see each other that you can use Message as an exploration activity (casting it repeatedly for a minute) and that would work.
But it seems like this is more of a GM plot device rather than something that needs to follow the rules of the game.
If you are the GM and you want this to work - just make it work.

Something could be done with message [without the crystal ball] and Intimidate if the intent is to not have the attempt unheard by others.
