Let’s run the app and see how the chat room looks like in the app.
1. Enter group chat rooms
If you select a user chat room, you can enter the created chat room.
In the chat room, you can see other people besides you, as well as the number of people and posts.
You can chat with multiple users in real-time.
★Chat room message push notification
If you enter a message in the group chat room, a push notification is sent to the other party.
However, it will only be sent to users who have used the chat room at least once.
★Chat room permissions
When a user tries to enter an administrator’s chat room, they are restricted from entering the chat room because they are not authorized.
2. Chat details
If you’ve set up chat details, let’s see how it looks like in the app.
Nickname Setting: When you enter the chat room, you will see a window to enter the nickname.
Password setting: When entering a chat room, a chat room password input window appears.
(Password is assigned as the number entered in the chat room detailed settings, and can be shared with users through announcements or other routes.)
3) Chat Notification Message: You can check the notification message entered in the detail setting page in the chat room.
4) View user list: You can check the list of users who entered the chat room by pressing the upper right button of the chat room.
Q. Can users select other users to chat within the app?
Selecting users or inviting them to a room is not supported.
Q. How do app users know if I have a conversation in a group chat room?
Users who have accessed (entered) a group chat room even once will receive a conversation push notification from the app.
If you select push notifications, you can enter the chat room.
However, users who have not logged in will not receive push notifications, so they will not be able to check their conversation history.
Q. So how can I notify users of group chats? Or can I announce that I can join a group chat room?
Allows the administrator to send pushes.
Please use the function provided by the Swing2App app operation → push delivery, not chat push.
If you select the Link Wizard when sending a push, you can set the link as a group chat room.
When you select a push that users receive from your app, they are taken directly to the group chat room, so you can engage them in that way.
However, as mentioned above, the number of people accessing is determined according to the product, so only the number of people listed in the applied product can access it.
Q. Does the group chat room always require an administrator to be in order to operate?
Since it is not an admin chat, only users can enter to use it.
In addition to the administrator, users can chat in groups.
Q. How do I delete a chat room conversation?
If you press the [Settings] button at the top right of the chat window, there is a menu to delete chat history.
If you select the menu, you can delete the conversation history.
If you leave and enter again after deletion, the conversation history is deleted.
Q. What if I don't want to receive push conversations?
If you press the [Settings] button in the upper right corner of the chat window, there is a push notification on/off button.
You can select the menu to turn off the notification setting.
