Messages

Messages are GreekManage's built-in direct and group chat — for quick coordination that doesn't belong in a public Engage thread.

Open Messages​

In your sidebar: Messages.

You'll see a list of conversations on the left, with the active conversation on the right. Direct messages and group chats both live here.

The Messages screen with a group chat open. The Messages screen with a group chat open.

Start a new conversation​

  1. Click New message.
  2. Search for and select the people you want to message (1 for direct, 2+ for group).
  3. (For groups) Add a name.
  4. Type your first message.
  5. Click Send.

Send messages​

Type in the bottom composer and press Enter to send. Shift+Enter for a line break.

Attach files via the paperclip icon — images, PDFs, docs.

Reactions​

Hover or long-press a message and tap the smiley. Pick an emoji.

Edit / delete​

On your own messages, click the ⋯ menu:

  • Edit — within 15 minutes of sending
  • Delete — replaces the message with "[deleted]"

Read receipts​

Read receipts show whether the recipient has seen your message. You can disable read receipts in Account settings → Privacy → Read receipts.

Mute a conversation​

Click the bell icon at the top of any conversation to silence notifications. The conversation still updates; you just won't get pings.

The search bar at the top of Messages searches across all your conversations.

Group chat admins​

Whoever creates a group chat is the admin. Admins can:

  • Add or remove members
  • Rename the group
  • Promote others to admin
  • Delete the group

Tips​

  • Use Engage for chapter-wide announcements, not Messages — Messages should be conversational.
  • Don't send sensitive personal data (SSNs, payment cards) in messages. Use the secure channels your org provides.
