Overview

Tryno’s built-in chat gives your community a space for real-time conversation. You can organize discussions into channels, enable private messaging between members, and control access based on roles or membership tiers.

Channel types

Channel typeDescription
PublicVisible to all community members
PrivateInvite-only, hidden from non-members
Tier-basedAccess granted based on the member’s tier or level
AnnouncementsOnly admins and moderators can post; members can read
Use announcement channels for important updates that you don’t want buried in conversation. Members can read but not reply, keeping the signal-to-noise ratio high.

Direct messages (DMs)

Members can send private one-on-one messages to other members. DMs support:
  • Rich text formatting
  • Image and GIF attachments
  • Real-time typing indicators
  • Read receipts

Features

Members can share images, GIFs, and files directly in channels or DMs. Uploaded media renders inline for easy viewing.
Pin important messages to the top of any channel so members can find key information quickly.
Use @username to mention a specific member or @everyone to notify the entire channel. Mentioned members receive a push or in-app notification.
Real-time typing indicators show when someone is composing a message, keeping conversations feeling live and responsive.
