Direct Messaging and Group Chats

Turn on messaging for a tier, chat with members one-on-one, and manage your channel group chats.

Messaging lets you talk with your fans directly, one-on-one or in group chats. It's a great perk for your paid tiers.


Turn on messaging

Messaging is an add-on you include in a tier.

  1. Click Settings in the left menu.

  2. Click Tier Settings.

  3. Click the three-dot menu on a paid tier and select Edit Tier.

  4. Open the Add-Ons tab and turn on Messaging Add-on.

  5. Click Update.

ā„¹ļø Note: Only fans in a tier with the Messaging Add-on can message you. Fans in other tiers will be asked to upgrade if they try.


Open your messages

Go to your channel, click the ••• menu, then click Message. Your messages have two tabs:

  • Channel Chats: group chats with your members

  • Direct Messages: one-on-one conversations

Unread conversations have a red dot.


Start a direct message

  1. In Direct Messages, click New.

  2. Search for a member by name.

  3. Select them and click Next.

Fans can only start a direct message with you, not with other fans.


Manage a group chat

Open a chat in Channel Chats. From there you can:

  • Click the pencil icon to rename the chat.

  • Turn on Allow Members to let members send messages.

šŸ’” Tip: Leave Allow Members off to use a group chat for announcements only.


Send messages

  • Type your message and press Enter to send. Press Shift and Enter for a new line.

  • Click the paperclip to attach a photo or video. Only you can send attachments.

  • Hover over a message to react with an emoji.

  • Hover over your own message and click Delete Message to remove it.
