The group text worked at four people. Then someone changed numbers, a contractor joined, and Tuesday's decision is buried in bubbles.

What a channel keeps that a group text loses
A named room, a member list, files beside the message, and search across the history.
Membership by phone number
Someone leaves the company and stays in the thread.
Search that is hard to use
A new teammate cannot find the decision because they were not on the thread.
Photos and files named IMG_2093
A week later the file has no sentence next to it.
A channel with chosen members

A named room
People join with an account and read the history of the channel.
Mentions for the right person
Mention the person who needs to answer and leave the rest of the thread quiet.
How to move the next update into a channel
Move the work conversation and leave the social thread alone.
1. Create the channel
Invite the people working on it.
2. Write what is still true
The current hours, the deadline, and where the file is.
3. Ask the next real question there
The one you would have texted tonight.
4. Leave a pointer in the text
Send one message: work notes are in the channel.
Keep the personal thread personal
The group text can stay for social chat. Work a new hire would need belongs in the channel.
Social chat stays on the phone
Lunch plans can remain where they are.
Work for new hires goes in SetSay
If a new teammate would need it, write it in the channel.
A pair uses a DM
Two people can message each other directly.

Bring forward the decisions that are still in force. The rest can stay in the thread.

SetSay runs in the browser, so people open it like a website.

If the whole team should see the work, use a team channel. Choose private for a real guest list. See private team channels.

The same approach applies. That conversation belongs to individual phones, so move it to a channel the whole team can read.

Write them in SetSay and search the workspace. See searchable team chat.

Two channels are enough. See team chat for small teams.
