Starting a chat from a post

Starting a chat from a post

A post is the best way to start a conversation with your team, but if you want to speed up the decision making process, you can switch to a realtime group chat right from the post. All those who've participated in the post are included in the group chat, and you can add or remove members as you wish. Once all of you arrive at a decision, you can add your chat to the original post as a comment.

  • Click the Chat icon that appears when you hover above the post.
  • Enter your chat title, and add more members to your chat, or remove participants, if needed.
  • Click Start.

Explaining the check boxes:

  • Include all participants of this post.
    This option lets you automatically add everyone who has participated in the post to the group chat. You can still add other members, in addition to those who've participated. You can uncheck this and manually add members, regardless of whether they've participated in the post.

  • Add this conversation as comment on the post.
    This option lets you add your group chat as a comment to the original post. The comment gets posted once your group chat is closed.
