Sending Messages and Using the Chat Box

Written by Iryna Grytsaenko

Sending a message

All messages are sent on behalf of the Business Manager who originally submitted the bid.

If you have multiple Business Managers available, you can switch between them by clicking the Business Manager name in the chat and selecting another from the dropdown.

If some options are greyed out, it means only one Business Manager is assigned to this conversation.

Message vs. Comment

There are two types of communication in GigRadar CRM:

Attaching files

You can attach files to both messages and comments:

  • Copy and paste directly into the chat box

  • Drag and drop files into the chat box

Attachment limits: up to 5 files per message, maximum 20 MB per file.
