Create a channel

Channels keep conversations organized by team, project, customer, topic, or location. Create a channel when several people need to follow the same discussion over time.

Before you start

You need access to a HansaChat workspace. Some workspaces may limit who can create channels.

Steps

  1. Open your HansaChat workspace.
  2. Find the channel list in the sidebar.
  3. Select the create channel option.
  4. Enter a short, clear channel name.
  5. Choose whether the channel should be public or private.
  6. Create the channel.

Naming tips

Use names that are easy to scan in the sidebar:

  • support
  • sales
  • project-website
  • berlin-office

Avoid names that only make sense to one person. A good channel name should help teammates understand where a conversation belongs.

What to do next

Send the first message with the channel purpose. For example: “Use this channel for website launch updates and blockers.”

Then invite the people who should follow the conversation.
