Construction team and project chat

Chats sit under Employees and hold four kinds of conversation: a team channel for a chosen group or the whole company, a direct message between two colleagues, a project channel tied to one building job, and a customer channel that works even without a project. Talk about a house stops living in private phones and scattered mailboxes, and the people who join a site later can read what was already agreed.

Creating a channel means picking the type, the project or customer, and the members; a company-wide channel is marked visible to all employees, and a project channel can carry the customer release. Released project channels produce a copyable signed link that lasts thirty days, and the guest only types a name to answer. Private channels stay with their members and administrators, a channel id from another company answers 404, and system-created channels resist deletion so the project, customer and direct links hold.

Nothing said here is lost to the record: each message is filed a second time as a chat entry, on the project file for a project channel, in the customer history for a customer channel, and on the channel itself for team and direct talk. The conversation list ranks by the newest message and counts what a person has not read yet, while the sidebar directory dials a colleague or opens their mail without leaving the screen.
