Stay in sync with your band — mention someone with @, chat in the band channel, swap direct messages, and get notified when something needs your attention. Messaging runs across the app, not only on one menu page.
In any text field that supports it, type @ and pick a band member from the list; Enter or Tab confirms the mention and adds a trailing space so you can keep typing. Type @all (or choose Notify everyone from the list) to notify every band member — that creates a notification on the bell for each person, not just a chat line. Mentioned people get a notification according to their preferences — in-app by default, optionally email, web push, or native push on mobile.
Each band has a default Everyone group for the whole band. Additional groups (for example merch, writing, or tech) appear under Groups in the chat sidebar. Groups can be visible to everyone in the band or limited to selected members.
Use the + button (when you have permission) to create a group. Open a group’s settings to rename it, change members, archive it, or leave a private group.
Direct messages between two users appear under Direct messages in the sidebar.
The floating chat bubble (bottom-right on most pages) opens the default Everyone group for the active band — same @ mentions apply. Messaging is the full-page view with history.
Messages post immediately; refresh is handled in the background on open panels.
The bell in the header shows unread count. Messaging → Notifications lists everything — click a row to jump to the linked page, mark one done with the checkmark, or delete with the trash icon. Mark all read clears the active list; Archive holds older items you dismissed.
Account → Messaging preferences (or Messaging → preferences) sets digest frequency (instant, hourly, or daily), which channels carry mentions (in-app, email, web push, native push), and quiet hours when non-urgent alerts should wait.
No mention popup — confirm you typed @ inside a supported editor and selected someone from the band list.
Push not arriving — enable the channel in preferences and allow notifications in the browser or phone settings.
Chat bubble missing — select a band; band chat requires an active band context.
