What you can do
Team Chat keeps work talk inside Asteri, where everyone on the team already signs in.
Every team starts with a General channel. Owners, admins, and managers can add channels for crews, trades, or locations.
Only the people you add can see a private channel and its messages.
Make a channel where only owners and admins post, so important news doesn’t get buried.
Message one teammate, or start a small group conversation with a few people.
Share up to 10 photos or files in a message, each up to 25 MB. Files are stored privately.
Mention a teammate by name and they get an alert. Anyone can turn mention alerts off.
Find a channel, a person, or an old message from one search box.
In the phone app, report a message privately to the Asteri team or block a teammate.
In the phone app, messages you send without signal go out as soon as you’re back online.
Organized
Use open channels for the whole team, private channels for small groups, and announcement channels for news that needs to stay on top.
