Chat gives you a direct line to your building's property management team, right from the Cove app or dashboard. Whether you need to report an issue in your space, follow up on a request, or ask a quick question about the building, Chat is a faster and more direct way to reach your property team than email. Your conversation with the property team is always available when you open Chat. Each conversation in your list shows: The time of the last message A preview of the most recent message Your full message history is always available when you return, and read status syncs across devices. If you read a message on your phone, it will appear as read on the dashboard as well. To participate in Chat, you need to be designated as a Chat Contact on your user profile. This is set by your Building Admin. If you are not sure whether you have been set up, reach out to your building management team.
