Messenger can be used to replicate the alerts channel, WhatsApp or Slack with restricted permissions.
These are just a few examples—explore different ways to tailor Msngr to your participants' needs.
To an extent. Msngr mostly used as a one-way channel. It allows you to send out communications to the players, but players cannot comment back.
Ways players can interact on Msngr include answering a question via:
Choice
Open text
Arrange
Drop-down List
Multiple-select
If you are looking for an interactive channel where players can chat amongst themselves or respond to an inject, the Messenger Plus channel is a good option.
In the Exercise Editor, head to Exercise > Add Inject and select "What Method?" as "Msngr".
As always, add your content in the text block, choose what persona it's coming "From" and "To" then click save and close.
To add a question, select Question and how you want your players to interact with the inject.
Open Text – The player types a response once
Choice – The player selects one option from two or more predefined choices
Arrange – The player organizes options in a specific order (e.g., by priority)
Drop-Down List – The player selects one option from a menu
Multiselect – Similar to Choice, but allows selecting multiple options instead of just one
This flexibility lets you tailor interactions to match the scenario and player's needs.
You can enable automatic replies to questions by selecting the checkbox. There are two options:
Same Reply for All Choices– Every player receives the same response, no matter which option they choose
Different reply to Each Choice– Each choice triggers a different predefined response, allowing for more tailored interactions
This feature helps create dynamic conversations and enhances realism even further
To rename Messenger and change the channel's icon, head to Configuration > Channels > Msngr.
