Team and chat
Post, vote, pin, without leaving your team.
A team space brings together shared inboxes, everyone's tasks and the chat. A decision made in a channel becomes a task in one click.
- Public or private channels, direct messages, threads, reactions and @mentions.
- Posts with their comments, polls and pinned messages.
- Scheduled posts, and the whole channel notified by email.
- A message becomes an assigned task.
- Up to 25 members and 10 shared inboxes per space.
Everything you need to stay in sync
Threads
Reply in a thread: the channel stays readable.
@mentions
Mention someone: they're notified, and by email if they haven't read it within 5 minutes.
Polls
One question, up to ten choices: everyone votes in one click, and the result reads at a glance.
Posts
An announcement or an update with a title, discussed in its thread, that can notify the whole channel.
A message becomes a task
An important message becomes an assigned task, with nothing to copy.
The assistant rereads for you
“What did we decide for Acme?” the assistant finds who said what in the channels.
Scheduled posts
Written on Friday, posted Monday at 9.
Schedule a post to the quarter hour, up to 90 days ahead: only you see it until then. And pin what should stay at hand, up to ten messages per conversation.
Private channels
Private when it needs to be.
A private channel and a direct message are only visible to their members. Public channels stay open to the whole team.
Security
Encrypted at rest.
Message text is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and only our server reads it to show it to you. It is not end-to-end encryption.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chat real-time?+
Almost: the open conversation refreshes by itself every few seconds, and your messages show up as soon as you send them.
Can we share files in the chat?+
Yes. Attach up to ten files per message with the paperclip, by dropping them or by pasting an image. Images show in the conversation; documents open in one click.
How does a poll work?+
In a channel or a direct message, the composer's "+" offers "Poll": a question and two to ten choices, with, if you want, several answers, an anonymous vote and an end date. Everyone votes in one click; the author or an admin can close it, then reopen it.
Can I schedule a post?+
Yes, in a channel: pick the day and time (to the quarter hour), up to 90 days ahead. Only you see it until it goes out; you can edit it, post it right away or delete it. It can also notify the whole channel by email.
Are there audio or video calls?+
No. The chat is written; for a meeting, create an event in the team agenda.
Who can see a private channel?+
Only its members. A public channel can be read by the whole team, and writing in it adds you to it.
How does the conversation become tasks?+
Click "Suggestions" in a channel or a thread: the AI reads the latest messages and proposes tasks to create (with an owner and a due date, based on who does what in the team), tasks to close and people to add. Nothing is created without your click.
Who can comment on a task?+
The members of the team space, on the task's page. Comments exist for team tasks; a personal task has none.
Which plan includes the chat?+
The team space, with the Team & Enterprise plan, billed per space rather than per member.
Keep the conversation next to the work.
Create a team space, invite your colleagues and open your first channel.

Comments
And every task has its own conversation.
On a team task's page, people comment, reply in a thread and mention with @. The decision stays with the task instead of getting lost in a forwarded email.
