Chat Module Overview
Comprehensive guide to the EasyDo 365 chat module with integrated workplace features and collaboration tools
Chat Module Overview
The Chat Module in EasyDo 365 is far more than a simple messaging platform—it's a comprehensive communication and collaboration hub that integrates messaging with workplace productivity features. From sending messages and sharing files to marking attendance, delegating tasks, and requesting approvals, the chat interface serves as your central command center for workplace interactions.
Unlike standalone chat apps, EasyDo 365's chat is deeply integrated with all business functions. Every chat conversation can instantly transform into a task delegation, meeting invitation, approval request, or document sharing session. This integration eliminates the need to switch between multiple apps and ensures that all work-related communication and actions happen in one seamless interface.
