Chat

Members can continue real-time communication needed for collaboration not only in channels but also more closely and freely in chat spaces. Just like channels, each message in a chat space can be utilized as a thread through comments. The basis for messages and comments is text, but various forms of content including attachments or external data links can also be included.

What is a chat?

It's a space where organization members communicate 1:1 or in groups. If communication in channels is more from a business perspective, the purpose of chats is to emphasize the conversation itself. Due to its conversational nature, individual privacy is guaranteed in chats.

Start a new chat

To start a new chat, open the Chat menu from the core menu, click on the ic_addchat_18.png icon at the top right of the main menu, and search for a conversation partner. If you want to start a group chat with multiple members, you can search multiple members and selected them all at once.
