Overview
You can send a 1:1 direct message to another person or a group of people (members and guests) in your organization. These 1:1 direct messages or group chats are conversations that take place outside of folders.
Guests can only participate in group chats where they have been invited.
If the user is online, you’ll see a little green dot on their avatar. If they’re not online, you can still send them a message anyway, which they will see the next time they are online.
You can have multiple chat dialogs open at any given time.
