Channels & messaging
The core chat stream, organised by topic and updated live.
8 capabilities
Public and private channels
Deep diveChannels with roles (owner, admin, member), a topic and a purpose. A #general channel is created for every workspace and every member joins it.
Read the Channels & Messaging deep-dive →Formatted messages
Bold, lists, links and code in messages, rendered safely on the server. Edit your own (shown as edited) and delete them; admins can delete any.
Threaded replies
One-level threads keep side discussions off the channel, with reply counts and the time of the last reply.
Reactions
Emoji reactions, one per person per emoji, added and removed live for everyone.
Read state
Unread counts per conversation, marked read as you view and unread when you want to come back.
Drafts
Unsent messages save per channel and thread, so they survive a reload.
Forward and copy link
Forward a message to another channel with a comment, or copy a link that opens straight to it.
Archive
Archive a finished channel; its history stays and it stops taking new messages.
02 / 09
DMs, mentions & notifications
Private conversations and the signals that pull you in.

Canvases
Shared docs that live next to the conversation.
4 capabilities

Workflows
No-code automation that posts into chat, with loop protection.
4 capabilities
Trigger, conditions, post
Start from a Pulse event, filter with conditions such as equals, contains, starts with or is empty, then post a message into a channel as a bot.
Fields in the message
Pull values from the event into the message with {{field}}, such as {{user_name}} or {{body}}.
Loop protection
Workflows on message events can never react to a bot's message, including their own.
Run log
Workflows start paused, switch on when you're ready, and log every run with its status, timing and any error.
07 / 09

Two-way connections with the rest of your tools.

Privacy & admin
Workspace control that respects the conversation.
5 capabilities
Content stays private
Message bodies, drafts, canvas content and slash-command text are excluded from every Flaxxa admin screen.
Membership-limited
Private channels, DMs and search results are limited to members, checked in every query.
Slash commands
/me, /shrug, /dm, /leave, /topic and /rename, with each use written to a log that can't be edited.
Joiners and leavers
New workspace members join #general automatically; someone removed from the workspace is removed from every channel.
Sign-in security
Pulse uses your Flaxxa sign-in, with SAML single sign-on, SCIM provisioning and two-factor login available on the platform.
Every feature inherits the platform.
Sign-in, billing, your team, roles and the audit log come from the Flaxxa workspace, so Flaxxa Pulse works alongside the other Flaxxa apps on one account.
