Quick Start Guide: Setting Up Group Chats in Spaces

Overview

This quick guide walks you through the essential steps to add chat functionality to your Chati Spaces. 

Before You Start

Critical Requirements: Ensure your Space includes: 

  • Content Tab component on Responsive (enables content-based chats), OR 

Responsive inline chat component

Without these components, chats will not work on responsive devices. 

Step-by-Step Setup

Option 1: Add Inline Chat

  • Select Space
  • Launch Editor for your Space 
  • Add the Inline Chat Component to Desktop and Responsive Views
  • Save - Your chat now works across all devices with synchronized conversations 

Note: You cannot add more than one inline chat to a space.

Option 2: Content-Based Chat

1. Create Chat Content:  

a. Go to Spaces → Select your Space → Content 

b. Create new content with:  

i. Content Title: Descriptive name (e.g., "General Chat") 

ii. Feature Type: Chat 

iii. Active: Toggle ON 

c. Apply and Save 

2. Add Desktop Access Point:  

a. Launch Editor for your Space 

b. Add a Button, Hotspot, or Image 

c. Configure click action:

a. Responsive PropertiesAdd ContentAdd Content Tabs ComponentClick Edit → Select your chat(s) 

Which Option to Choose? 

Use Option 1 (Built-in Inline Chat) if: 

  • You want a single, always-visible chat 
  • You prefer minimal setup 

Use Option 2 (Content-Based Chat) if: 

  • You want multiple separate chat rooms 
  • You want more control over chat placement and access 

Adding Multiple Chats 

For Option 1 (Built-in Inline): Not possible - only one chat room for inline

For Option 2 (Content-Based): Repeat the content creation process with different Content Titles and create separate access points for each chat room.
