Which channels does the Chat Extension support?
Internal channels for secure, Business Central-only messaging between your staff, plus Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp. Slack and Telegram channels keep partners, vendors and remote teams in the loop, and WhatsApp reaches customers directly on their phone numbers.
Where does the chat appear in Business Central?
As a FactBox on sales orders, quotes, purchase orders and assembly orders, so each conversation stays with the document it is about. You can also pop it out into a standalone window for dedicated communication sessions.
What can be shared in a conversation?
Photos from your webcam or PC, screenshots of a specific browser window, PDFs, text files and ZIP folders by drag and drop, and voice messages recorded and played back in the chat. Any message can also get an emoji reaction.
Can messages be sent automatically?
Yes. The open interface connects the chat with other Business Central functionality for automated message triggers, status updates and custom workflows, and report setups attach generated reports to messages as PDF, DOCX or XLSX.
