  • Categories: Categories are used to organize Rooms in your app. Use Categories to group Rooms by department, location, or content topic. Categories are completely customizable to your organization, so use labels that your teams will clearly comprehend.
  • Rooms: In Konverse, content comes together in Rooms. There are several types of Rooms that can host information from announcements and events to training, and more.
  • Private Posts: Private posts are long-form content messages – similar to email – that can be sent and received to individual app users. You’ll find all these messages housed under Private Posts in your Left Nav.
  • Chat: Chat is a way to connect with team members in real time. Konverse offers both Group and 1:1 Chat options separated in your Left Nav.
