Additionally, if the admin of a channel has enabled the use of @all and @available, users can mention everyone in the channel or those who are currently available.

Channels

  • An admin can enable/disable the channels module or specific channel levels (Organization, Team, Personal, External, and Thread conversations).
  • If an admin has disabled a specific channel, the channel level will not appear while creating channels.
  • If there are existing channels for a particular level and an admin disables them, then the channels will not appear in the search bar and the conversations will disappear. The users will be notified about the new admin configuration made.
  • If the admin enables the particular level, the existing channels of that level will appear again.

Default Channels

  • Admins can add default channels for their organization and teams in Zoho Cliq and ensure all existing users and new users are synced automatically and have access to the channels they need for communication.

To set up default organization-level channels:

  1. Navigate to Admin Panel â†’ Configurations â†’ Channels â†’ Organization Channel â†’ Default Channels and select Configure.
  2. Here, you can choose the channels to which you want all your existing users to be synced automatically and new users upon joining your organization.
    NotesNote: You can choose a maximum of five default channels for your organization.
  3. Enable the Add Welcome Note toggle button if you wish to include a welcome note in the configured default channel every time a user joins your organization. Type in the note, and use tags to personalize it.
  4. Click Save.
     
To set up default team-level channels, follow these steps:
  1. In the Admin Panel, under Conversations â†’ Channels â†’ Team Channel, the admin should enable the toggle button to Allow team-specific default channels so team admins can configure default channels specific to their teams.
    If this is disabled, teams will not be able to configure team default channels.
    NotesNote: Team admins can choose a maximum of five default channels for their teams.

  2. As a team admin, navigate to the org module. All your teams will be displayed. Select the team you want in which you want to add the default channel.
  3. Go to the Settings tab and click Edit Settings.
  4. Under Default Channels, click Configure a Default Channel.
  5. Add channels to the list. Check the Add Welcome Note box if you wish to include a welcome note in a channel every time a user joins your team. Type in the note, and use tags to personalize it.
  6. Click Save.
  • In multi-team channels, if a particular team has a channel added as a default, all members of that team will be automatically added to the channel. Therefore, other team members will not be able to remove the team members for whom the channel is added by default.
  • Once a channel is set as default, participants cannot be manually added since all members will be synced by default. However, you can add bots to the channel as you wish. 

Default permissions

  • Admins can also set default permissions to maintain consistency when users create channels of different levels.

  • The permissions set here are predefined, and will reflect when users are creating a channel. The channel admin can update the permissions that are left unlocked in this module.
  • Admins can also lock a particular permission or all the permissions, and the channel admins will not be able to make any permission changes later.

Reply modes for channel levels

  • Reply modes for different channel levels can be configured from the Admin Panel. The admin can set the reply mode either as Normal Reply or Threads.
  • The admin can also grant permission for the channel admins to modify the reply modes and close threads whenever necessary.

  • The admin can configure how users in their organization use direct messages. Direct messages can be sent by users for conversations with colleagues or external users and select whom a user can send direct messages to (only within department, other colleagues, external users).
  • When sending messages is restricted for org users under Roles, an admin can set the time the users can reply to a message.
  • When an admin disables chats, the existing 1-1 and group chats will disappear. The chats will be removed from @mentions, chat history, starred messages and search results.
