The Chat is the internal communication tool inside Agenda. It replaces scattered
WhatsApp groups and private chats with a central place tied to your company’s employees,
groups and permissions.
What is it for?
- Quick conversations between employees without leaving Agenda.
- Group chats for teams, branches or individual projects.
- File sharing — site photos, PDFs, short voice messages.
- Read receipts — see who has seen a message.
- Secure and internal — messages never leave the company environment and aren’t
stored in personal WhatsApp profiles.
Who uses the chat?
- Employees message colleagues and teams.
- Team leads coordinate shifts, assign tasks, clarify questions.
- Management can broadcast company-wide announcements.
Key terms
