How to use Secapp: Chat

Secapp is a secure solution for instant messaging and fits any segment or organization.

With Secapp, it is possible to replace consumer apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.

Overview #

Secapp chat can be used in three ways:

  • 1-1 conversations
  • Group conversations within the organization (e.g. Sales, Logistics, Management)
  • As a conversation related to Secapp message or alert

1-1 conversations #

1-1 conversations can be quickly started directly from the Secapp contact list, from which the desired participant for the conversation is selected. Secapp automatically creates a two-way chat for participants.

Group conversations #

Group discussions are a quick and easy way to communicate within an organization, and for example, each topic or unit can have its own discussion. Thus, for example, sales, logistics, and the management team can discuss in their own group. A Secapp user can be a member of any group.

Secapp messages and alerts #

You can also turn on the chat feature with a message or alert sent with Secapp. Thus, for example, a dedicated chat can be created under a info message or a fire alert, allowing real-time information, status updates, and the sharing of images, audio, attachments, and videos. At the same time, all chat actions are automatically saved in the Secapp log, where they are also stored for later use, if needed.
