In Mazévo, chat messages can be sent between users, typically the requester and event planners, on a default 'channel.' Channels are used to separate messaging between a group of users.
What are Messaging Channels
There are two types of channels available, the external channel and internal channels.
Each event has one external channel that is automatically built by the system. The external channel is used to send and receive messages from the primary contact on the event. The messaging on this channel is available for the primary contact (the requester) to view.
All other channels for an event are internal channels and are used exclusively for chatting between event planners. Messaging on the internal channels can not be seen by the requester; however, all event planners in the system can view any messages on any internal channels.
On internal channels, you can add new users (event planners), and you can leave the conversation on an internal channel.
Selecting a channel to send a message to:

2) Enter a message and press the Send button.
