Team Chat lets you send real-time messages to individual employees or groups directly within Teamsly. Both managers and employees can start chats and send messages from web and mobile. Chats are separate from Announcements — chats are two-way conversations, while Announcements are one-way broadcasts from managers to the team.
Getting There
On web: Click the speech bubble icon in the left navigation to open the full Chat page.
On mobile: Tap Chats in the bottom navigation bar.
The Chat Page (Web)
The Chat page has two tabs: Chats and Announcements. The Chats tab shows all your conversations in a list on the left, with participant names, last message preview, and date. Clicking any conversation opens it on the right. Your messages appear in blue on the right; others appear on the left with their name and timestamp. Type in the Type a message... field at the bottom and press Enter to send. You can also attach a photo using the camera icon.
The Chat Screen (Mobile)
On mobile, the Chats screen has tabs for Messages and Announcements. If your company uses in-app calling, there's also a Calls tab with your call history and a button to start a new call. The Messages tab shows all your conversations with participant names, last message preview, date, and a blue dot for unread messages. Tap any conversation to open it. A + button in the bottom right creates a new chat.
📞 Need to talk it through? With in-app calling, you can call your manager or team right from the Teamsly app. See Making and Receiving Calls in the Mobile App.
The Floating Chat Widget
On web, click the chat bubble icon in the top right corner of the navigation bar to open a floating Chats panel that overlays whatever page you're on. It has the same Chats and Announcements tabs and shows your full conversation list. Click the X to close it.
💡 The floating chat widget is useful when you're working in the schedule or reviewing reports and need to quickly check or reply to a message without losing your place.
