Messages

Channel-based project messaging — organised like Slack, no WebSocket required.

Channels

A #general channel is auto-created for every project. Create additional channels for disciplines, subcontractors, or topics.

Click + New channel in the channel list panel. Enter a name and description.

Sending messages

Select a channel from the left panel. Type in the message input and press Enter (or click Send).

Messages are grouped by sender when sent within a short time window (similar to Slack). Each group shows the sender's name, avatar, and timestamp.

Near real-time — messages poll every 5 seconds. This avoids WebSocket complexity while keeping messages timely.
