How Can You Use Team Chat?¶

• You can chat with your team members directly inside Planio, on desktop clients or on your mobile about a project.
• You can discuss an issue in chat, and your chat will be easily accessible from that issue, so you’ll have all the discussion around the issue in one place.
• You can ping people by writing their name, so you can quickly ask them a question. They’ll get a notification, so they’ll know about it straight away.
• You can search the entire chat log using search. Everybody can simply look up what has been said on a subject and absent people can catch up on past chats easily.
• You'll see chat notifications on updates made within Planio.
