Creation

Create new messages conversations and add members

Greek Connect's Messages has lots of features that can be used to keep your chapter organized. Let's learn how to create and manage your conversations!

Membership

Automatic

With automatic membership, members are automatically added or removed from a conversation based on their status (New Member, Member, Officer, etc). This is best used for important topics, such as an announcements conversation, where every member who is of a certain status should see the messages.

Custom

With custom membership, members are manually added or removed to a conversation. This is best used for optional conversations, where members may not always want to be included in the conversation.

Event Present

With event present membership, members are automatically added or removed as they are signed in or out of the event. Members can also be manually added or removed by an admin or owner of the conversation.

Event RSVP

With event rsvp membership, members are automatically added ore removed as they rsvp (or have their rsvp removed) to the event. Members can also be manually added or removed by an admin or owner of the conversation.

Avatar

Conversations can have an emoji or image avatar.

Permissions

Discuss how roles can affect permissions

Roles

Members in a conversation have one of three roles

  • Member: This is the most basic role that all members join a conversation as. Members can add but cannot remove other members from the conversation. They can remove themselves from any event that does not have automatic membership.
  • Admin : Members can be promoted to admin by the owner of a conversation by pressing . Admins can be demoted to member by the owner of a conversation by pressing .
  • Owner: There is only one owner per conversation, and they are the only one who can delete a conversation. They can promote an admin to owner or control any other permissions of a conversation.

Settings

The settings of a conversation are visible in the Conversation Details page (accessible by pressing while viewing a conversation). A conversation can be set to only allow admins and the owner or only the owner of a conversation to send messages. Reactions (emoji responses to a message) can also be disabled.

Deletion

To delete a conversation, go to the Conversation Details page and click "Delete Chat". Only the owner of a conversation can delete it.
