Collab is a place to work with external teams and clients. Here you can chat, share files, set tasks and schedule meetings within one project.

For example, you work in an architectural firm and are designing a new apartment complex. Invite contractors, landscape designers and clients to the collab. All participants will be able to quickly solve working issues.

Invite guests to collab

The history of invitations is recorded in the collab chat. When a guest accepts the invitation, a notification will appear in the chat. Users who have not yet accepted the invitation will be displayed in the list of collab participants. Icons of such guests are highlighted in green color so they can be distinguished from Bitrix24 employees.

If the guest has confirmed the invitation, the role "Guest" will be displayed. If not, the profile will show "Invitation not accepted".
