Group messages let three or more chamber members chat together in one thread — handy for project coordination, committee work, or planning a table at an event.
Create a group chat
- Open Messages.
- Click New Group (white button next to "New Message").
- Check the members you want to include (no hard cap — add as many as the conversation calls for).
- Optionally set a Group Name at the top. If left blank, it'll auto-name to "Group Chat (N members)".
- Click Create Group (N) — the number reflects everyone including you.
- The group opens and your first message can be sent right away.
Good to know
- No email notifications for groups. The 15-minute DM email alert only fires for one-on-one messages. For urgent group items, follow up with a separate DM or email.
- Anyone in the group can add more members later from the group settings panel.
- Leaving a group is possible from the group info panel — you'll stop getting notifications from it immediately.
Group vs. direct message
For ongoing 1-on-1 conversations, stick with DMs — they trigger the email alert so nothing gets missed. Use groups when you genuinely need more than one other person in the conversation.
