Conversations

Conversations contain messages with teammates, contacts, or groups.

What are Conversations?

The Conversations area is your Sunrise Business Collaboration home base. This is where you can access ongoing threads of conversations between you and others. On the left side of your Conversations screen, you can view:

• Favorite conversations

• 1:1 conversations with individual contacts

• Topic-specific conversations

• Group conversations (private and public )

To retrieve exchanges with a contact, you can also access their Contact Details and Call History.

Using Conversations

The Conversations tab is where you can share and find information through a simple messaging platform. Not only can you message contacts and groups, but you can also send calls and search for specific content.

The following are examples of interactions within Conversations:

• Send a photo or attachment with a message

• Filter messages

• Forward an email to a conversation
