Channels and DMs
A general channel for everyone, private groups for projects, DMs for quick questions.
Mentions that matter
@mention someone and they get one grouped notification, not a pile.
Files and replies
Share files, reply in line, react, edit and delete — everything you expect.
What it is
Messages, explained plainly.
Paashi Messages is workspace chat connected to the work. Channels, group conversations and direct messages sit beside boards, whiteboards and files, with replies, mentions, reactions and private file sharing.
Best for
- Project discussions that need lasting context
- Quick decisions while another page stays open
- Teams replacing scattered project group chats
How it works
From first step to finished work with messages.
- 01
Choose the audience
Use a workspace channel, a project group or a direct conversation so the right people share the context.
- 02
Point to the work
Discuss cards, whiteboards and repository files from the same workspace instead of describing where to find them.
- 03
Resolve the thread
Reply in context, react to confirm and mention only the teammate who needs to act.
- 04
Return without losing place
Messages opens above the current page and closes back to the work underneath.
Links unfurl into work
Paste a card or whiteboard link and it shows up as a live preview everyone can open.
- Card previews
- Whiteboard previews
- Repository links

Guidelines v3
Collaboration
Built for shared work, not shared confusion.
Conversation-level access
Only participants can open private conversations; guests see only conversations they were added to.
Grouped attention
Related activity is grouped into a single unread notification rather than repeated alerts.
Searchable decisions
Message text is included in workspace search, subject to the same access rules.
What this looks like in practice.
01A producer can ask about a shot while keeping the production board open.
02An editor can share a cut in a project conversation and collect reactions.
03A studio can keep a private client group separate from internal chat.
Questions, answered.
Something else on your mind? We reply within a day.
Guests only see conversations they've been added to.
Finally, one place for the project.
Free for up to 3 people. No card needed.
