Bosca / Communications

Channels

Conversations, in real time

Channels are where people talk on Bosca. Messages arrive the instant they're sent — over live subscriptions, not polling — with the whole toolkit you expect: threads, reactions, typing, and presence.

Channel types

Three shapes of conversation

Direct

A private one-on-one conversation between two people.

Group

A conversation visible only to the people who belong to it.

Public

An open channel any eligible member can find and join.

The real-time toolkit

Everything a live chat needs

Each channel carries an ordered stream of messages with sender, time, and rich content. Replies nest into threads, reactions attach per person, and typing and presence keep the room feeling alive.

  • Threaded replies nest under the message they answer.
  • Emoji reactions, typing indicators, and presence, all delivered live.
  • Read state per member drives unread badges without re-reading history.
  • Messages carry text, images, files, and links to platform objects.

Scoped to your work

A channel for anything on the platform

A channel doesn't have to float free. Attach one to an object on the platform and the discussion lives right next to the thing it's about — so the conversation and the work never drift apart.

  • Scope a channel to an object and it travels with it.
  • The people who can see the object are the people in the room.
  • Free-form attributes let a channel carry its own context.
