Team chat

Channels and direct messages for your team — flat, fast, and in the same database as everything else.

Channels

Channels are named spaces for a team or a topic. They can be public (anyone in the workspace can browse and join) or private (members are added by an existing member). Every workspace starts with a default channel that everyone joins automatically — it's the one channel you can't leave, so announcements always have somewhere to land. Admins can change which channel is the default.

Messages are flat and chronological — no threads to lose track of. For a conversation that turns into real work, promote it to a Loop instead of letting it scroll away.

Direct messages

DMs work for one-to-one and small groups. Starting a DM with the same people always lands in the same conversation — no duplicates.

Messages

• Formatting — messages are written in markdown: bold, italics, code, lists, links.
• Edit & delete — your own messages, any time.
• Reactions — emoji reactions on any message.
• Pins — pin important messages to a channel for quick reference.
• @mentions — mentioning someone notifies them, subject to their notification preferences.
• Files — attach files up to 10 MB; images preview inline.

Unread & notifications

Unread counts track per channel and per DM, updating in real time. Each channel has its own notification level (in the channel menu) layered over your global notification mode — so a noisy channel can be quiet without touching anything else.
