Communication is baked into the heart of Nestr. Any nest (role, circle, project, etc.) can be communicated about right there in context. No more jumping between tools to have a conversation about the thing you are working on.

Because Nestr is structured around circles, all communication within your organisation is naturally scoped to those circles. This gives the benefit of not having to deal with the noise from other teams in your organisation.

Circle feed

Each circle has a feed. The circle feed shows all communications that are happening inside projects within the circle so that nothing is missed.

On top of that you can create channels in a circle for specific topics. You can also add people from within or outside the circle to that specific channel. With the @ functionality you can mention people in a conversation and they will be notified.

Direct messaging

You can start a direct message with anyone in Nestr. Simply click on their profile picture or find them in the search dialog to start a conversation. They will get a notification that you have reached out to them.

Messaging is always accessible in the bottom left corner of the screen no matter where you are in Nestr.
