Where to find Whisper: Click the team avatars in the top navigation bar, or search “Whisper” in the command palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K).
Whisper is internal team messaging built right into the app. Use it to send quick messages, share files, and stay in sync with your colleagues — without leaving the platform.

Getting Started

When you first open Whisper, you will see a list of conversations on the left and a message area on the right. If you have no conversations yet, click the + button at the top of the list to start one.

Starting a Direct Message

  1. Click the + button at the top of the conversation list.
  2. Select one team member from the list.
  3. A new direct message conversation opens immediately.
If you select yourself, you get a private scratchpad conversation — handy for jotting down quick notes.

Starting a Group Chat

  1. Click the + button at the top of the conversation list.
  2. Select two or more team members.
  3. Click Create to open the new group conversation.
You can rename a group chat at any time by clicking its name in the header.

Sending Messages

Type your message in the text box at the bottom of the conversation and press Enter to send. To add a line break without sending, press Shift+Enter.

Mentioning Patients

Type @ followed by a patient’s name to search for and mention them in your message. When you select a patient, their name appears as a clickable link that takes you to their profile.

AI Message Refinement

Click the Refine or Suggest button (sparkle icon) to have AI polish your draft message. You can accept, reject, regenerate, or provide feedback on the suggestion before sending.

File Attachments

You can share files in three ways:
  • Drag and drop a file onto the message area
  • Paste an image from your clipboard
  • Click the paperclip icon to browse your computer
Attached files appear as previews in the conversation.

Managing Conversations

Pinning

Right-click (or use the menu on) a conversation and choose Pin to keep it at the top of your list. Pinned conversations always appear first.

Hiding

If a conversation is getting noisy, hide it from your main list. Switch to the Hidden filter to see hidden conversations, and unhide them at any time.

Filtering

Use the filter icon at the top of the conversation list to narrow by:
  • All — Every conversation
  • Unread — Only conversations with new messages
  • DMs — Direct messages only
  • Groups — Group conversations only
  • Hidden — Conversations you have hidden
An active filter shows as a chip next to the title. Click the x on the chip to clear it.

Adding Members

In a conversation, click the + person icon in the header to add a team member. Adding someone to a direct message automatically converts it into a group chat.

Leaving a Group

Open the menu in the group header and select Leave Group to remove yourself from the conversation.

Presence and Status

Online Indicators

Team members who are currently active show a colored ring around their picture:
  • Green ring — Online and available
  • Amber ring — With a patient (automatically set from appointments)
  • Red ring — Busy (automatically set from schedule blocks)

Setting a Custom Status

Click the status area next to “Whisper” in the header to set a custom status (for example, “On lunch” or “Working remotely”). Pick a preset or type your own, choose how long before it clears, and save.

Notifications

When someone sends you a message in Whisper, you receive a notification through the app’s notification system. Opening the conversation automatically marks it as read.
