Using the Conversations Hub

Learn how to open the Conversations Hub from Messages, reply to messages and photo comments, and attach a photo to a message.

The Conversations Hub brings every Project conversation into one place, so you don’t have to dig through texts and emails to find an answer. Open it from Messages, reply to a message or photo comment right in the thread, and attach a photo without leaving the conversation.


On the web

Opening the Conversations Hub

Log in to CompanyCam, then click Messages in the left-hand navigation. The hub loads your full list of Project conversations, sorted by most recent activity, with unread conversations at the top.

FAQs

Who can access the Conversations Hub?

Admins, Managers, and Standard Users can access the Conversations Hub on any plan.

Why does the menu say Messages?

The menu says Messages because that’s the new name for the button that opens the Conversations Hub. It used to say Conversations. The hub works the same way.

Why does my app still say Conversations?

Your app still says Conversations if it’s on a version older than 10.0.68. Update to version 10.0.68 or later to see Messages. Either label opens the same hub.

Where do photo comments show up?

Photo comments left on a photo in a Project post automatically to that Project’s conversation. You’ll see them next to any direct messages in the same thread, so the field crew and the office see the same conversation.

Does the Conversations Hub replace Project conversations?

The Conversations Hub doesn’t replace Project conversations. It shows every Project conversation in one place without changing how messages send or store within individual Projects.

Can I reply to a photo comment from the hub?

Yes, you can reply to a photo comment from the hub on web or in the app. Photo comments appear in the Project conversation, so you can reply to them right in the thread.

Who can I mention in a message?

You can mention Users, User groups, and Collaborators who are on the Project. They get a notification based on their notification settings.

Can I attach multiple photos to a message?

You can attach multiple photos to a single message.
