Company chats
Company chats gathers the company-wide chat settings in one place: the company room's chat, each department room's chat, and the chat apps your rooms may connect. Every member can open it; company owners and admins change it.
How to open Company chats
- Open Company settings.
- Under Agent, select Company chats, right after Company announcements.
Company chat
The company room is where company announcements are posted (see AI announcements).
- Company chat — when on, every employee can chat in the company room. When off, people reply to posts only.
- Who can chat? — choose Everyone, Admins, Admins and creators, Reporting heads, Who can post announcements or Selected employees.
Departments · Chat
Each department's announcements room has its own chat switch. Turn it on and everyone in the department can chat in its room. Turning on a department chat whose announcements room is off switches that room on first.
Chat apps
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chat apps | The master switch. On, rooms can connect apps that post into their chat. Off, no app posts into any chat: every room's apps are disconnected and nothing is deleted. Turning it back on connects them again. |
| Add any API or app | On, rooms can pick Custom API, paste the docs link, and the agent builds the connector. Off, rooms connect only the apps in the list. See Custom APIs. |
| Company connections | The apps connected across your company's rooms, and how many rooms use each. |
| Apps | One switch per app, with search and Turn all on. An app switched off is hidden from room galleries, and wherever it is already connected it is disconnected. |
The section also shows Who can connect apps: owners, admins and creators who are owners or hosts of the room, with the agent on.
An app marked with a lock instead of a switch is blocked by Qik for your company. When your plan does not include chat apps yet, the section shows Upgrade or Request access — see Plans and limits.
