In-job team chat

2 min read

Every job has a built-in team chat in the Comments and Activity tab - so your team can communicate about a job without leaving FoxTrak or switching to another app.

Leaving a comment

  1. Open a job and go to the Comments and Activity tab
  2. Type your message in the comment box at the top
  3. Press Enter or click Send

Comments are visible to all team members with access to the job. Customers never see internal comments.

In-job team chat in FoxTrak

Mentioning a team member

Type @ followed by a name to mention someone. An autocomplete list appears as you type - select the person to complete the mention. They receive a notification immediately regardless of their other notification settings.

Emoji reactions

Click the emoji icon on any comment to add a reaction. Quick reactions are a lightweight way to acknowledge a message without a full reply.

Editing and deleting comments

You can edit or delete your own comments within 20 minutes of posting. After that, comments are locked.

In-job chat keeps all job-related communication in one place - making it easy to review the full history of what was discussed when you come back to a job later.
