Stop switching to Slack. Chat where the work is.
FinnDesk Chat puts team messaging inside the same workspace as your tasks, clients and files. Conversations stay next to context, decisions are searchable, and nothing important gets buried in a separate app.
- Channels and direct messages inside your FinnDesk workspace
- Link any message to a client, task or file
- Full search history so decisions are never lost

Capabilities
What Chat actually does for you.
Channels by topic or client
Create channels for compliance cycles, billing runs, specific clients or the whole team. Messages stay where they belong.
Direct messages
One-to-one or small-group DMs for quick questions that do not need a channel.
Linked to work
Attach any message to a task, client or document so the conversation and the work stay together.
Full message history
Every message is stored and searchable. Find a decision made three months ago in seconds.
File sharing
Share documents directly in the chat. Files are stored in FinnDesk, not lost in a third-party service.
Notifications your way
Set per-channel and per-DM notification preferences. Focus time means no pings unless it is urgent.
How it runs
Four steps, and then it looks after itself.
Configuration is a one-off. After that the module runs on your schedule and only asks for a human when something genuinely needs one.

FAQ
Chat, answered
Still unsure whether it fits how your team actually works? Ask us the awkward version of the question — we would rather answer it now than after you have migrated.
Talk to us Does FinnDesk Chat replace tools like Slack or Teams?
It covers the same internal messaging use case. The advantage is that messages live next to your tasks and client records, so you never need to switch context to find what a conversation was about.
Is chat history retained when a team member leaves?
Yes. All messages are stored on the workspace, not tied to individual accounts. History remains fully searchable after a team member is removed.
Can we create client-specific channels?
Yes. A channel can be named for a client and used by the team handling that account. Client records in FinnDesk can be linked directly from the channel.
Are there message limits or archive fees?
No. Full message history is included in every plan with no per-seat message limits or archive paywalls.

Put Chat to work this week.
Start with this module alone, or switch on the rest of the platform alongside it. Either way, setup takes minutes rather than a quarter.
