They don’t use that domain anymore I guess. The new link for docs is here:

What exactly do you need? A native chat function or 1v1?

I already master the 1v1. Native would be a step further I guess. Cheers

Do you have a link for 1v1 internal chat function?

I’m not aware of one, but the idea is the same. What I would do is:
- Create a row containing the IDs/emails of the two users in question in a “Chats” table.
- Make those emails row owners.
- Create a “Messages” table. Allow users to add messages to that table, and display them inside the Chat view using a collection.

Does this solution require a table for every two users to chat? Or will one table work for all users?

No, it should be one table for all users.

Hi
I’ve got a Chat screen appeared in a default App, I can’t see it in Pages. Is this correct? Is there a free Chat that comes with Apps. Does Pages have one? Do the paid one’s work in Pages?
Thanks

> Difference between the chat feature and the comments feature. Chat: Standalone tab/screen. Messages are displayed in bubbles right and left of the screen like a chat app (Whatsapp, Messenger). Data displayed: name, avatar, message. The tab is available in any new app project (like the tabs user profile and shopping cart) and hidden by default. Available in Glide Apps only.

They don’t seem to have that page on the new version of Docs.
You may get some inspiration from @Robert_Petitto 's template:
> **[Glide • Messenger v2 Template](https://www.glideapps.com/templates/messenger-v2-gg)**

from this template I can’t get inspiration! I don’t need stand alone messenger, I need chat functionality within existing app, linked to some table row. I have topics and I need to invite other app users to chat about specific topic. Is there any component that allows it? “Comment” is good, but there is no app’s control, over it. I see Petito’s tables, but I don’t see app’s functioanlity in the template.
