Chat With Your Group or Team

Take part in a real-time conversation with the people in your group or serving team.

  • Communication settings must be turned on for members to create posts, chat, or attach files or photos.

Chat is for quick, back-and-forth conversation such as letting people know you're running late, or sharing a change of plans. Replies appear in real time, and your chats carry over between the web browser and the mobile app.

Note: Your group or team leader starts the chat. You can't create a new group or team chat yourself, but you can take part in one that's already going.
  1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Connect. Then click Communications > Chat.
  2. In the Recent column, click the name of your group or team to open its chat.
  3. Enter a message.
    • To include a file, click the paper clip icon and select the file.

    • To include an emoji, click the emoji icon.

  4. Click Send.

If you have the Connect App mobile app, you'll keep receiving push notifications for new activity in a chat you've replied to. You can mute those notifications for a set time or indefinitely. Leaving a private chat removes its history for you and stops all further notifications.
