I want to promise a feature regarding internal group communication.
As a small business/Monday partner, most of the time, I find it is very difficult to communicate freely with my team members/guests. Given how Monday built, group chat/direct chat becoming almost impossible. I understand the board structure is easier to manage/communicate in the long run, and the “Updates” tab is designed to log/communicate, but a build-in, light weight chat/group chat functionality will be very useful. Cos I believe a lot of small businesses don’t really need/have the time to chat on slack/MS Teams.
@hanwesh, I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I want to chat with my team as a group or 1on1 in a “non structured” private way. However I’m not able to do that on Monday.com
I’m surprised with how powerful Monday is, however, it doesn’t solve solve a simple issue as having teams have private non structured chats between each other.
It’s a fully featured real-time chat app in monday.com that includes:
Custom channels
One-on-one messaging
Message threads
Reactions
Gifs
@ mentions
In addition, it’s deeply integrated into monday.com. It’s available in:
Workspaces: A full-featured chat with custom channels, which also allows for cross-team collaboration
Boards: Chat that can be added to a specific board, for discussions about the specific board
Automations: Create a board automation, which automatically adds a message to a channel when an event happens in monday.com (e.g. an item is created/update).
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to me directly at: oalbrecht@bonfireapps.com.
Great idea about improving team communication on monday.com! As a monday.com partner, I completely relate to what you’re saying.
This need actually inspired me to create an app called SecureChat Pro. It adds lightweight chat functionality directly within monday.com. It’s designed to enable those quick conversations without leaving the platform. I’m also very focused on security, so everything is fully encrypted end to end.
Some features that sound like they could help you are:
Privacy settings that allow you to invite specific team members, or leave it open to the entire group
Online and typing statuses so you know when people are active
Notifications for mentions/ tagging (@name) and notifications when someone is added to a private chat
Emojis for reactions and natively
Media sharing (PDFs, images, videos, audio files, and GIFs)
More features are about to be rolled out this week too!
It’s available in the app marketplace with a 14 day free trial
I’m really big on giving too- so we fit this to be an affordable price. If you do want a further discount, let’s find a time to connect and I’d be happy to chat about that as well.
A chat feature for all team members to communicate. something inside the workspace. allowing notifications & messages to be sent to members individually or as a team. EX. message to “Team Warranty” Item #1234 has arrived today please ready for shipping.
OR
Team Warranty please call the office when you are free
This type of messaging app inside Monday.com, not operating on a specific board would allow entire teams and different departments to communicate all in 1 location. notifications for messages about work, workflow and low priority tasks not specific to a board or item can be communicated while also only having 1 program open in the computer or tablet to ease workflow.
Absolutely understand the need for a centralised communication feature within monday.com.
As monday.com Preferred Platinum Partners at upstream, we’ve helped many teams streamline their communication. If you’re using Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Twilio, you can integrate them directly with your monday boards. This ensures your team is notified promptly about board updates or specific messages. This integration can act as the bridge between your communication needs and task management, making collaboration more efficient.
If you’re interested in support, don’t hesitate to reach out.
