Team chat
Direct messages with teammates on your account — without leaving Trovepile.
When to use Chat vs task Team help
| Surface | Use when | |---------|----------| | Task → Team help | You are blocked, need help, or want comments on one task | | Team chat | You want to message a teammate; share an update; attach a note, bookmark, or task |
Chat appears in the main sidebar when your account has more than one teammate. Open Chat, pick a person in the sidebar, and message them 1:1.
If you are the only person on the account, use Invite a teammate on the chat page (or Settings → Team) to add someone. After they are invited, you can open a DM with them.
With teammates already on the account, click New message in the chat sidebar to search for someone or Invite a new teammate from the same dialog.
Notify team on save
When you create a task, bookmark, or note, you can check Notify team:
- Teammates get a bell notification (not a DM thread message).
- Bulk bookmark saves within ~2 minutes are batched into one notification.
Your default (Always / Never / Ask) is in Settings → Integrations → Team chat.
Attach notes, bookmarks, or tasks
Click Attach in the message box (or type `/note`, `/bookmark`, or `/task`), then pick an item from your account. It appears as a card in your message so your teammate can open it in the main Notes, Bookmarks, or Tasks library (not inside a browser tab session).
Extension
The browser extension passes Notify team on note and task creates. Open Chat on the web app (`/chat`) to message teammates directly.
Slack / Discord (Team+)
Admins can configure a webhook under Settings → Integrations → Team chat to mirror notify-on-save posts to an external channel.
