Direct messages

Direct Messages (DMs) are private conversations between you and one other user. They can include chats and threads.

Where to find and view DMs

• Recent DMs will appear in the Direct messages section at the bottom of your inbox
• Type their name in the Search bar
• Click the ellipsis next to the Direct messages section and click See all DMs
• Go to the Directory > People > click the person's profile and click message

{% hint style="info" %} DMs will appear in your inbox unless you archive them. If a new message comes in after you after, it will reappear in your inbox. {% endhint %}

Starting a New DM

There are a couple ways to start a new DM.

• Start a thread — click the pencil icon at the top of the app and address it to the specific person
• Hover over Direct messages and click the plus (+) icon
• Click the ellipsis next to Direct messages and choose “New direct message”
• Go to the Directory > People > click the person's profile and click message

{% hint style="info" %} 💡 Tip: You can create 1:1 threads within DMs to keep conversations organized! {% endhint %}

You can start a DM with anyone, even if they’re not on Glue yet. All you need is the person's email address to send an invite to Glue. The recipient can choose to accept or decline the invitation.
