Team chats are your internal conversations with the rest of your team. They live under the Staff segment of the Chats tab, separate from your guest conversations, and are available to everyone on a property.

Open a team chat

1

Go to the Staff segment

On the Chats tab, tap Staff to show your team conversations.
2

Tap a conversation

Tap a row to open it. Your own messages sit on the right, your teammates’ on the left.

Direct messages and group chats

A team chat is either a direct (one-to-one) message with a single teammate or a group chat with several people.
  • In a direct message, the header shows the other person’s name and avatar.
  • In a group chat, each message carries the sender’s name above it, so you can always tell who said what.
In a group chat, tap the chat name at the top of the conversation to open the member list and see everyone who’s in it.

Send a message

At the bottom of the conversation is the message box. Tap it, type your message, and send. It appears in the thread right away.

Share a booking, task or guest

When you need a teammate to look at something specific, send them the record itself rather than describing it.
1

Copy the link

Open the booking, task or guest, then tap Copy link at the top of the panel, next to Edit.For a booking across more than one room, the copy icon sits next to each room name instead, under Guests. A shared booking has to say which room you mean, so you pick it rather than the app guessing.
2

Paste it into your message

Go to the team chat, paste the link, and add whatever you want to say alongside it: “can you check this one before 3pm?”
3

Send

The link turns into a card above your message, showing the room, dates and status. Your own words stay underneath.
Tapping the card opens that record, so your teammate goes straight to it without searching. The card always shows the record as it is now, not as it was when you sent it, so if a booking’s dates move, an old message still reads correctly.

When a teammate can’t open it

Not everyone on a property sees everything: an Operator, for example, sees only their own tasks and no guest records at all (see Roles and permissions). If you share something a teammate in the chat can’t reach, a line under your own message says so: Marie can’t open this, Marie and Paul can’t open this, or 3 people can’t open this once it is more than a couple. Only you see that line, and it only appears when someone is actually left out. When the whole chat can open the card, nothing is shown. Everyone can open a booking, so in practice this is about tasks and guests.
The line keeps up with the chat. Assign the task to the person who was missing it, or change who is in the chat, and it updates on a message you already sent.
Record links only work in team chats. If you paste one into a guest conversation it is removed before sending, because a guest has no way to open it.

Send a photo, video or document

Beside the message box are a camera button for photos and videos and a paperclip button for documents. Tap one, pick your file, and it sends as its own message. Photos show as a picture your teammate can tap to open full-size, videos play in place, and documents arrive as a chip with the file’s name and size. A large photo is shrunk automatically before it sends.

Send a voice note

When you’d rather speak than type, send a voice note. With the message box empty, tap the microphone button to its right and start talking, then tap again to stop and send. Your teammate gets a small player they can tap to listen to, with your message written out as text alongside it, handy when they’re with guests and can’t play the audio out loud.
The transcript is prepared automatically. If it couldn’t be worked out, the note still plays and shows Transcript unavailable with a Try again to have another go (it reads Transcribing… while it works).

Delete a message

Team chats are internal to your property, so a message sent there can be taken back for everyone.
1

Open the message's actions

Press and hold the message, or (on a wider screen) hover over it and tap the ⋯ button beside it.
2

Choose Delete message

Tap Delete message, then confirm. It disappears for everyone in the chat, not just for you.
In its place the thread shows This message was deleted, so the conversation still reads in order rather than losing a turn. You’ll see You deleted this message on the ones you removed yourself.
You can always delete your own messages. Deleting a teammate’s message is limited to Owners and Managers. See Roles and permissions.

Call a teammate

In a one-to-one team chat, a phone button sits in the chat header. Tap it to place an internal call to that teammate without leaving the conversation. They see a dedicated Incoming · Internal screen when the call comes through. Internal calls between you and a teammate also appear as call pills inside the one-to-one thread, so the chat and its calls stay in one place. See Phone calls for the in-call controls and how those pills behave.
