Team chat and support tickets
Start direct and group chats with your team, and raise and track support tickets with your platform support team.
Two tabs in Messages are for conversations that never reach your customers or factories: Team for your own staff, and Support for your platform support team.
#Team chat
#Start a chat
- Open Messages and go to Team.
- Press New message.
- Pick people. One person makes a direct message; several make a group, and you can give it a Group name.
- Press Start chat.
You can also start one from the top bar with New → New team message.
#In a team chat
- Type @ to mention a teammate.
- A green dot means someone is online.

Team chats are internal. Customers and factories never see them.

#Ticket statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
