Direct Messages & Friend Requests: Stay in touch outside of work, too
Send friend requests by email, independent of any organization, then get the same rich messaging feature set in a 1:1 thread.
The same messaging feature set, one-on-one
Markdown, attachments, voice notes, reactions, translation, and the same forward/select/bulk-delete tools as any room - in a direct message thread.
Calls, typing indicators, and read receipts
Start a 1:1 voice or video call straight from a DM. Typing indicators and live presence keep you in sync, and a "Seen" note appears once your message has been read.
Do you need an organization to send direct messages?
No. Friend requests go by email and don’t depend on any organization. You can talk one-on-one with a co-founder or an early collaborator before you set up an organization at all.
What carries over from your rooms?
You can forward one message, or several at once, from a room to a direct message. Your personal sticker library follows you too, and stays private unless you choose to share it.
How do you control alerts for DMs and friend requests?
Direct messages and friend requests each have their own notification setting. Desktop notifications and sounds fire even when the tab isn’t focused. You can also turn on daily or weekly digest emails.
