How to Start a Chat with the Agency (Client View)

  1. On your Dashboard, head over to Messages

  2. Click on the + icon to start a New Chat

  3. On the pop-up, choose who to chat with:

    • The agency (shown with the agency's name and logo) opens your organization's shared chat. Everyone in your organization is in this chat, together with the agency's admins and the team members assigned to your organization.

    • One or more team members starts a private chat with them. Only the team members assigned to your organization appear in the list.


    ​Note: You cannot start a private chat with other members of your own organization. To talk with them, select the agency to use your organization's shared chat.


    ​For agency admins: a team member appears in a client's list only if they are an account manager of that client's organization. To add one, go to Users > Clients, open the organization, and add them under Account managers in the Organization Details sidebar.
