DISCUSSIONS

Every conversation, where the work happens

Your discussions are no longer scattered across Messenger, Slack or Discord. Every exchange is tied to the task, structure or project it belongs to — and you find everything back, even six months later.

01 — ATTACHED TO CONTEXT

One discussion per task, structure or project

No more chat groups where everything blends together. Every discussion is linked to a specific object in Sentinel — a fallen tree task, a bridge inspection, a rehab project. When someone joins your team six months later, the whole history is there, in the right place.

  • Discussion created automatically for every task, structure or project
  • One click from the record to join the conversation
  • Full history kept even after the task is closed

02 — TEXT, PHOTOS, AUDIO

All the context, in a single thread

A voice message to describe a complex issue. Three photos of a damaged bridge. A mention to alert the sector lead. Everything stays in one place, attached to the task. No more screenshots, no more copy-paste between apps.

  • Unlimited photos, compressed automatically
  • Voice messages for frozen hands or long descriptions
  • Emoji reactions and replies to keep threads readable

03 — NOTIFIED, NEVER OVERWHELMED

The right messages, to the right people

Each member gets a notification when they're mentioned, when a message arrives in a discussion they follow, or when a task that concerns them changes. The rest is noise — and we filter the noise for you. You never miss what matters.

  • @name mentions to draw a specific person's attention
  • Subscribe per discussion to follow what matters to you
  • Unread indicators on desktop and on the field

What changes with discussions

One source of truth

No more scattered messages across Messenger, Slack or Discord. Everything is tied to the task, structure or project it belongs to.

Photos, audio, mentions

The right format for the right info. A picture is worth a thousand words, a voice message saves you from typing with gloves on.

Targeted notifications

Each member gets what concerns them, nothing more. Mentions are prioritized, the rest stays browsable.

Frequently asked questions

Do messages disappear when a task is closed?

No. The discussion stays attached to the task, even closed. You can still browse it from history — photos, audio and text included. Perfect for audits or lessons learned.

Can volunteers and external partners take part in discussions?

Yes, if their role allows it. You stay in control: a volunteer can take part in the discussions of tasks assigned to them, but not in projects they're not attached to.

Why use this instead of a Slack or Messenger group?

Because an external chat isn't tied to anything. Six months later, finding a specific message about a fallen tree takes an hour. In Sentinel, you open the task and the whole conversation is there, with photos and context.

Stop searching, start finding

Your field conversations deserve better than a lost Messenger thread. Centralize everything in the right place.
