Simplify team communication in a single chat app

Chat is Rippling’s software for team communication, providing workforces with a centralized alternative to text messages and disconnected messaging apps. In addition to bringing all of your conversations into a single, secure, and easy-to-use team chat app, Chat taps into Rippling’s platform capabilities, like Supergroups, so you can take next-level actions, such as building a channel that dynamically updates its membership based off of user attributes like department, role, or location.

Chat is accessible on both web and mobile to address the unique needs of deskless workers. Rippling users can access Chat in the Rippling mobile app, giving them a team communication app on the go.

Chat is designed to facilitate communication for everyone across your workforce, whether they’re back office operations or frontline workers. You can add anyone in your Rippling workspace to Chat easily, eliminating communication siloes.

Yes, Rippling Chat has several group messaging features. With group messages, you can add employees on an individual basis to quickly sync on team-specific projects. Channels allow you to maintain large group messages between employees who have something in common — without any manual work. Simply set up a channel using Supergroups, determining who should be added based on attributes like department, level, role, location, or even schedule. Rippling will automatically update the channel so that it always includes the right people. Admins can also use broadcasts, which are one-way messages that you can send to specific teams or everyone at the company, so everyone is on the same page.

For companies that use separate systems for workforce management and team communication, Rippling Chat offers the advantage of bringing all of your systems for managing hourly workers into a single, secure system. For companies that are using a workforce management system with team communication software built in, Rippling offers other advantages. Because of its platform, Rippling Chat is directly connected to your core HR data, enabling advanced automations that other systems can’t replicate.
