Communicate with teammates using other Basecamp features.
- [Instructor] You can ping or mention people…when you want to get their attention.…Suppose you want to send someone else…in Basecamp a quick message like…"Hey, are you ready to head to lunch?"…If you do, just ping them.…It's like a messaging app but it's not related…to a specific project in Basecamp.…It's perfect for these really quick messages.…When you want to ping someone, head up to the toolbar…at the top of the screen and click Pings.…
In the box that says Who do you want to Ping,…you can start to type their name…and when you see their name, click it to add them…to the ping.…And of course you can add more than one person…if you want.…So for example I could also add Maria Ann Vitalia.…Then when you're ready, click Ping 'em!…And that opens up this chat window…which works just like other chat windows…you've been in.…Down at the bottom in the box,…you can type your message.…
Are you ready for lunch.…And then when you press enter,…that gets added into the Chat window…and you'll be able to see the ongoing discussion…
