Message Board

The Message Board is the project-wide announcement and discussion feed. Use it for updates that should reach the whole team — sprint kickoffs, decisions made, blockers that affect everyone, or anything that does not belong on a specific todo.

At a glance

  • Project-wide announcement feed visible to all members
  • @mention a specific person to send them a notification
  • Use @all to notify every project member at once
  • Messages are threaded and timestamped
  • Useful for standups, announcements, and decisions

Opening the Message Board

Navigate to a project and click the Board tab in the project navigation bar. Messages appear in reverse-chronological order (newest first). Scroll down to see older messages.

Posting a message

  1. 1

    Click the message input

    At the top of the Board tab, click "Write a message…" to open the composer.

  2. 2

    Type your message

    Write your announcement or update. Use @name to mention a specific person or @all to notify everyone.

  3. 3

    Post

    Click Post or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac). The message appears at the top of the feed instantly.

@Mentions and @all

Type @ anywhere in the message body to open the mention autocomplete. Select a teammate to @mention them — they will receive an in-app notification with a link to your message. Type @all to send a notification to every member of the project simultaneously.

⚠️ Warning

Use @all sparingly. Every project member receives a notification, including members in different time zones. Reserve @all for genuinely important announcements.

Replying to a message

Click the Reply link under any message to open a threaded reply box. Replies appear indented under the original message. All project members can see replies. The original poster is notified of every reply.

Editing and deleting messages

You can edit or delete your own messages at any time. Hover a message and click the three-dot menu () to access Edit and Delete. Workspace admins can delete any message. Deleted messages show a placeholder to preserve thread context.

💡 Tip

For longer updates, use the message body to post the summary and attach a shareable todo link (copy from the todo detail view) for action items. This keeps the board readable while giving teammates a direct path to the work.

Message Board vs. todo comments

  • Message Board — for project-wide announcements, decisions, and updates relevant to the whole team.
  • Todo comments — for discussion specific to one piece of work. Prefer comments when the conversation belongs to a particular todo.
