To be covered

Intro

Occasionally, you may want to contact other participants through messages instead of arranging a meeting to know they are interested in having an enjoyable talk or in the service or product you are trying to showcase. In such cases, chatting with another participant can be a valuable way to determine whether a meeting should be held. 


1. How to Send a Chat Message: 

Mobile App

  1. Go to the People/Networking tab
    people-mobile
  2. Find the person's profile you'd like to chat with
  3. Click the 'Chat' button at the bottom of the person's profile
  4. Type your introduction. Use this first message to impress 🙌
  5. Once you've written the intro, click 'Start the conversation' to send the message.
    start-conversation-button

💡 Tip! In case you wish to carry on with a face-to-face meeting, just click "Suggest meeting" from the Chat window and choose a time for a meeting. Then, you can join a virtual room together where you can discuss easily. You can read more on this here: How to suggest meetings.

2. How to Respond to a Chat Message?

If someone approaches you with a chat message, you'll get a notification for the first message, and it will appear in your messages which can be accessed from the top right corner of the mobile app.

💬  All new chat requests can be found under All conversations, in more detail under New chat requests. 

To review your new chats,  click to open the New chat requests and reply to the messages from the designated chat windows.

  • If you respond to a chat message sent to you, the conversation will move to "All conversations," and you'll be notified of new messages. (Image 1)
  • If you don't respond to the chat message sent to you, the conversation will stay in "New chat requests," and you won't be notified of new messages. (Image 2)

Great job! Now you can successfully network with other participants at events via chat.
