On Tuesday the 13th of February we're launching the BETA version of our new chatsystem for all users. The idea behind this new chat system is to introduce new functionalities, and to make it easier to add even more in the near future.
The chat system should feel familiar to you, since it's not much different from what you're used to from a chat feature. A few things will change, however:
Direct messages: Aside from an updated design and UI, you can now message brands before you start a collaboration.
Direct messages are private 1-1 chats, in that it's just between you and the other party in the chat.
Group messages: All creators will be enrolled into group chats based on campaign affiliation - along with all other creators on that campaign.
Group message work like group chats. This means, if you send a message - both the brand and other creators can see your message and vice versa. Similarly, if a brand writes a message, all creators can see this message.
Uploading images will now be an option in chats
Important:
As part of making this transition to the new and improved chat system, you can expect some downtime in the chat availability while we migrate old data to the new system.
We're doing this to ensure nothing is lost in the process.
