Task Chat & Task Files

You must've used many apps and tools for real-time chats and instant messaging, right? And in general, if we're carrying out some group activity that needs collaboration and coordination, we need to create groups or set a context to have a conversation, because we understand - context makes conversations meaningful.

So, here is the done-for-you context! No need to create groups or set context.

Each task acts as a context for team conversations.

Setting the context to a particular task, the task chat and task files are used to communicate and share information with the team on that task in real-time. It is a chat space where you can ask questions, request updates for tasks, add attachments for the team, and provide immediate feedback.

You can even mention team members (using @user) for updates and queries and they will get a dedicated notification in their respective Mentions tab. If you have been mentioned in any task or action item chat, you will see the same in the left-hand menu bar in the Mentions tab.

Task files are just like the media section of any instant messaging system, like WhatsApp. All the files shared in the task chat are available in one place in task files so that you don't have to scroll through to find out a particular file. Moreover, you can even attach a file directly in the task files tab and it will also be shared in the task chat.

The chat offers all features of a usual messaging interface supporting rich text, emojis, etc. The send message has specifically been kept as shift+enter to support multi-line messaging or a complete message, rather than sending one-liners one after the other. This is a professional chat space, with all project members, with a pre-made context, so it would be wise to stay in context and post relevant and meaningful information.
