Message anyone on Aden
Send a direct message to a teammate or someone new, handle chat requests, and decide who can find or reach you.
You can message anyone on Aden, whether or not you share a team.
Message someone
Hover anyone's name or face in Aden and choose Send a message. The chat opens right where you are. You can also search for people by name in chat.
Chat requests
When you write to someone you've never worked with, your chat arrives as a request. It waits under Requests with your first message, without an unread badge, and they choose Accept, Decline or Decline and block. Replying accepts it too.
Neither of you sees the other's email or contact details, only a name and a picture.
Stay out of search
Turn off Findable by name in your account's privacy settings. People you already share a team, an organisation or a track credit with still find you. Nobody else does. The same switch is in the phone app.
Mute or block someone
Hover their name or face:
- Mute notifications stops alerts about them. Their messages still show.
- Block in chat hides their messages, stops them starting a chat with you and keeps them out of yours.
You can review and lift both in your account's chat settings.
Invite someone who isn't on Aden
Use the invite attachment in a chat. They get an email, and the invite card in the thread shows whether they've accepted.
