🗣️Direct messages
The go-to feature for introverts to connect and engage!
Start a chat
1. From a chat or text block
As soon as a member posts a message in a chat or is mentioned in a text block, their name is clickable.
Clicking on their name will open their profile in a side window. To the right of Profile is the Chat button which allows you to start a discussion with the member.
2. From the member directory
Hover your mouse over a member's card to reveal a chat bubble icon in the top right corner. Clicking on this button will take you directly to the chat with that member.
3. From the direct messages menu
On the top bar of your Spot you will find a 💬 button that gives you access to a list of all your open direct chats. Click on the member's name to open the chat.
When you receive a new direct message, a notification will appear in both the notification menu and the direct message menu.
Sending a Direct message
Once you have opened a chat with a member, you can send them any content that is supported by our text editor: emojis, links, images, and embed many URLs.
Any content sent as a private message is not visible to anyone else, not even the admin of the spot.
On each message sent or received, it is possible to add an emoji reaction by passing your mouse over it.
By default, you'll receive notifications for every direct message you receive. However, you have the option to disable these notifications. Additionally, reactions to direct messages will not trigger any notifications.
Editing or deleting a direct message
If you happen to make a mistake while sending a direct message, don't worry! You can easily rectify it by hovering your mouse over the message. This action will reveal two options in the top right-hand corner: an edit ✏️ button and a delete 🗑️ button.
When editing a message, it is possible to replace its entire content. To publish the edited message click on the send button, it will then appear in the discussion with the indication (modified) at the end.
When deleting a message, a confirmation window will open when you click on the button. Any deletion of a message is final and irreversible.
