Chat

Chat provides real-time messaging between members of your workspace. It supports direct messages between two people, as well as channels for ongoing group conversations organized by topic or team.

Reach for Chat when you need a quick back-and-forth with another workspace member that does not belong in a client-facing email thread. It keeps internal coordination separate from external correspondence so that each surface stays focused on its intended audience. Channels are useful for standing topics — a general channel for announcements, project-specific channels for focused discussion.

Open Chat from the sidebar. The left rail shows your direct message threads and any channels you belong to. Click a conversation to open it. To start a new direct message, click the compose icon and search for the workspace member by name. To create a channel, click the plus icon next to Channels, give it a name, and invite the members who should have access. Type your message in the input at the bottom of any conversation and press Enter to send. Messages support markdown formatting — bold, italic, inline code, and code blocks.
