The MangoApps Chat Module and Messenger App serve different purposes while complementing each other. The Chat Module is integrated into the full domain, working in conjunction with other modules to provide a comprehensive collaboration experience. In contrast, the Messenger App is designed for quick access to essential communication tools without the need to open the full domain website.
The Chat Module is browser-based and requires no installation, while the Messenger App is a standalone application available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Both platforms support real-time messaging, file sharing, status indicators, and search, but the Messenger App offers additional features such as quick access to notifications
Performance also differs, with the Chat Module dependent on browser functionality whereas the Messenger App provides a more stable experience, running independently with enhanced notifications. Users can use the Chat Module for a fully integrated collaboration experience or the Messenger App for quick, streamlined access to communication tools.
To highlight an important a message, click the Set as Important Message icon before sending. The message will be flagged with a red label for visibility.
