Use the message box

The message box does more than send text. You can mention people, run skills, attach files and dictate.

Mentions

Type @ and a name to address one employee. In a Space you can also type @all or @everyone to address every employee.

Slash commands

Type / to open the menu. It lists:

  • /goal, to give an employee a goal to work toward. See Give an employee a goal.
  • /learn, in an employee chat.
  • Your skills. Choose one to run it.

Attach files

Pick files, paste them, drop them, or choose a folder.

  • Photos and documents upload at once.
  • Folders, zips, videos and big files are held and copied onto the employee's computer when you send, with a progress ring.
  • You can attach up to 4 items at a time.
  • Folders, zips, videos and big files cannot be attached in a Space conversation.

Dictate

Choose the microphone to speak your message. The words appear in the box and are never sent by voice alone. You press Send.

Drafts

An unsent message is kept on this device for 30 days for each conversation.

If it doesn't work

  • If a file is refused, the box explains why, such as a limit on size or count.
  • On a phone, Return makes a new line. Use the Send button.
  • If dictation fails, a message says why and you can try again.
