Improve the standalone Chat sidebar in 4.0
R
Ruud
I'm on the new 4.0 interface. The new 'Home' button brings to too a combination of chat, channels and spaces/folder/lists.
I understand why you find it better to mix the two worlds, but I also would like to make a distinction between those worlds.
So I would like to have the option to add 'Chat' to the sidebar. It would move all chats, channels to live under this button and show a number next to the open chats, with an option to mute them as well.
If you don't enable the seperate button it will live next to spaces. Would love to see that split!

Sort chats custom or by alphabet and pin them in clickup v4
Tobias Giesen
I miss the overview from the previous version where all chats were sorted alphabetically.
Is there even a logic in v4?
And please bring back the feature to pin channels :/
The v4 seems cool overall but feels like a downgrade to the chat and makes me consider switching back to slack...

Add chat sessions to organize conversations in ClickUp 4.0
Pedro Itallo
In ClickUp 4.0, the chat tab no longer has sessions, which makes communication disorganized. It would be great to have an option to organize the chat into sessions created by the workspace owner, so that all users see the chat structured in the same way.
Right now, the chat feels messy and lacks hierarchy, making it hard to follow different topics within the same space. This improvement would really help with collaboration and conversation management.

ClickUp 4.0, other sort orders in dedicated Chat window
Whit Gurley
I'm still on the fence about the "everything" representation in the Home sidebar, and I'm glad that my manual Chat channel order is represented there, but forcing the dedicated Chat window to
only
sort in order of recent use seems bizarre to me. I depend on my manual sort order to quickly get where I need to go in Chat, I never
use that "most recent" sort order. Even if you only offered Alphabetical as an alternative, it would be an improvement — at least then I could reliably find any channel where I expect it to be. But Manual/Custom order is my personal preference, I just want a consistent structure that groups things in the way that makes sense for me and my org.

Chat 4.0 needs some developer love
Andrea Darth Flader
In order to convince my team to move from Slack to ClickUp Chat, it needs to be a little more intuitive and user-friendly. 3.0 was actually closer to this and I was beginning to migrate and get people on board, but then 4.0 happened and we had to stop everything and run back to Slack.
My baseline needs for ClickUp Chat so that we can ditch Slack are:
1- You can leave the Home tab the way it is, but the ClickUp Chat tab needs to stand on its own and have its own notifications (red number icons on the Chat tab are crucial).
2- Once inside the Chat tab, all channels and DMs should be present, customizable, in their own sections, and have sorting options based on personal preference.
3- Maintain an 'Unread' view that you can leave open and when someone sends a ClickUp Chat message (DM or in a channel), it will appear, no matter what channel or DM it's coming from. This is more of an emphasis - I think this already exists.
4- Once a message is read, it should automatically clear out of the Unread area. And messages should only appear there if they are indeed unread. Right now, if I have the Unread filter on and click into a channel, when I come back to the Unread view, it has that channel displaying in the Unread area even though everything is read.
5- Option to send a reply to a message to the larger channel instead of only nesting it inside of the parent message.
6- Have replies show up as their own notification.
7- Ability to search ClickUp Chat messages only.
8- Somewhere within ClickUp Chat to view recent activity (least important).
I think that's all. It has a lot of other really great features, but these basics are necessary for our team. Some of them may already exist, so please kindly point out if that's the case, but I don't see it unless I said so up top haha. Thank you!!

We desperately need SEPARATE notification bubbles for Chat.

Mirroring comments already on this thread, we desperately need SEPARATE notification bubbles for Chat. I work with the left menu collapsed and there is no way for me to distinguish chat notifications from other notifications.

I would like to add something here: There is the chat in the sidebar as an extra element, but what I find even stranger is that the chats are displayed in a really weird way here.
On the home page, the chats are nicely divided into channels and direct messages. In my opinion, exactly the same view makes sense under “Chats,” just without spaces. Just as all chats are missing in the Spaces tab.
Camille Asselin
Confused as to why all the chat sections I have carefully created in ClickUp 3.0 are not showing up in the chat-only section of ClickUp 4.0, and instead shows this mess. I understand my sections appear in the home section underneath all my spaces, but why can't they appear at both places?

In my opinion, chat side bar should look something like this, containing 1) Task comment threads/direct threads 2) Channels (groups) 3) Direct messages. It could also double as the inbox....

We are using the new chat feature together as a company this week and will be seeing more and more users on this feature.
However it would be really impactful to have the notifictions for chats and notifications separate. Chats are more time sensitive for us so it would better to see these separated.
At the moment, if I had a chat message, it would appear under "home" (green) with the icon with "8" to show me 8 notifications. When looking, I actually have 6 updates in my inbox and 2 updates in a message. Could it be possible to show the "2" chat updates under the chat icon as opposed to home (e.g. in blue)?
Tim Jasper
Sophie Newman totally agree. I think we need an expanded Inbox as per my comment above.
Luc Pachan
Sophie Newman THIS. 100%.
