Team App Messaging

[Stanley]

Right now we use Homebase for scheduling because all employees are able to communicate through the app.  We use the Homebase messaging option a lot.  If the team app would have that option we would use square scheduling instead.  It would simplify things if we could just use the square team app for everything.

@Stanley  **bleep**! This is crazy. Support actually said after I replied to you "We're integrating messages between Square team members but it is still not available. Unfortunately we don't have an exact date when this will be available for all Square users."

I have over a hundred users, we need this!

Thanks so much for checking it out for me.

@nsilvialafrance No problem. Hope you get it soon and they better not take it away from me!😧

@Stanley Thank you, agreed, hope it is not coming and going and just being rolled out in waves or something.

Hi @nsilvialafrance ! 

Thank you for your interest in joining the Team Communications beta program. We have not yet launched the feature for accounts with multiple locations, but we will launch very soon. I've added you to my list of sellers to reach out to once we go live shortly. 

In the meantime, please be sure to join the Team Communications Beta Community page!

@SQPhil Thank you for this information and for adding me to the list. We are very eager to try this out.

Can we still get in on the beta for team communications, we are in the process of deciding whether to come over to square all the way, or stick with sling. This communication piece is literally the only thing holding us back!

Hi @megs83 , 

Thanks for your interest in joining this beta program! I apologize, but we are currently wrapping up testing and preparing for the general release date within the coming weeks. We'll put up a post here once we go live and you'll be able to use the feature then!

I wanted to make sure you saw that we recently launched a Team Communication product that provides the messaging and announcements functionality you mentioned. You can learn more at: https://squareup.com/us/en/staff/team-communication

Thanks!

I would like to see who has viewed the text - right now it gives a percentage but i can't tell who hasn't viewed so that i can use an alternative way to contact them

@BlueHenry @svanbrunt I have been participating since the beta and find it to be useful, but agree with BlueHenry that only seeing a percentage is not very helpful. We need to see who has read the message so we can follow up and hold them accountable if they do not.
