Community engagement

Community Engagement

Give members more ways to take part.

Configure member onboarding, profiles and a directory. Add community Rooms, best replies, badges, notifications and direct messaging for different ways to participate.

Member onboarding

Member Onboarding & Profiles

A name, a short introduction and a few shared interests give people an easier way into the conversation. Configure onboarding around your community.

Configurable onboarding
Guide members through their identity, interests, introduction and optional community rules.
Introductions & wave reactions
Introductions and wave reactions make a first contribution approachable. Shared interests help members find common ground.
Member profiles & directory
Profiles give contributions a human context. You can also enable a public or members-only directory.

Community Rooms

Community Rooms & Group Chat

Give an ongoing chat, a focused group or a time-bound conversation a place of its own. Members can talk without turning every message into a new post.

Mentions, quotes & reactions
Use mentions, quoted messages, reactions and message links. Share images and supported YouTube previews.
Room access & invitations
Room access and joining rules let public and private conversations serve different needs. Invitations and manager controls support the group.
Room expiry & history
Rooms can close at a set time. Authorized readers can still return to the conversation history.

Replies & recognition

Best Replies, Likes & Member Badges

A reply, a like and a little recognition can make participation feel worthwhile. Keep useful contributions visible to the next person who needs them.

Best reply marking
Thread authors and staff can mark a best reply. Nested replies let people follow up without losing the conversation.
Custom member badges
Community-defined badges appear with member identities. Staff can assign them individually or in bulk, with expiry when needed.
Post & reply likes
Likes on posts and replies give members a simple way to acknowledge a contribution.

Notifications & messaging

Notifications & Direct Messaging

Relevant notifications and private conversations make it easier to pick up the thread. Delivery and access rules keep the context intact.

In-app, email & web push notifications

Thread watching and in-app notifications help members follow activity. Supported emails and opt-in web push provide additional ways to hear about relevant updates.

One-to-one direct messaging

One-to-one direct messages start with a request. Eligibility, acceptance and mute controls give members a say in how they connect.

Access-aware search

Search eligible posts and replies with useful snippets. Results respect community and channel access, so a member sees what they are allowed to read.
