Project Chat keeps all your job communication in one place. You can now reply directly to messages and photo comments in a conversation thread, and attach photos to a chat from your Project — whether you're uploading something new or pulling from photos already in CompanyCam.
This feature is in Beta. Plan availability is subject to change.
On the web
Opening the Conversations Hub
Log in to CompanyCam, then click Conversations in the left-hand navigation.
The hub loads your full list of Project Conversations, sorted by most recent activity. Unread conversations are marked at the top.
Replying to a message
Open any conversation from the hub, then click the message you want to reply to. Click Reply and type your response. Click Send.
Replies are grouped under the original message so the thread stays together as the conversation grows.
Attaching a photo to a message
In a Project Conversation, click the Attach Photo Icon in message input, then choose to upload a new photo or select an existing one from the Project.
Note: You can attach 1 photo at a time to a message.
Photo comments left directly on an image in the Project also appear in the Project conversation automatically — the field crew and the office see the same thread.
