What is Monotree Chat?

Monotree Chat is the messaging part of the Monotree employee app. Everyone in the company can reach each other in private or group chats, without sharing phone numbers and without anyone adding people to groups by hand.

It is built for people who work shifts. When Monotree is connected to your shift planning system, a chat with the people working the same day is one tap away, and it is hidden again once the day has passed.

Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest on a dedicated server in the EU, and an employee who leaves the company loses access to the conversations when their account is closed.

  • Fully encrypted for maximum safety

  • One-click shift chats with people working that day

  • Push notifications on messages, replies and reactions

What employees and managers can do in Chat

Everything people expect from a messaging app, plus the parts a workplace needs.

How Chat works

There is nothing to set up per chat. People and departments are already in the app, so the first message can be sent on day one.

  1. 01

    Everyone is already there

    Employees and departments come from your HR or shift planning system, so colleagues find each other by name. No phone numbers are shared.

  2. 02

    Start a chat

    Message one colleague, create a group, or open the shift chat for the people you work with today.

  3. 03

    Get notified

    A push notification arrives on messages, replies and reactions. Quiet hours and vacation mode keep chat silent during time off.

The platform behind Chat

Every Monotree feature runs on the same groups, translations, notifications and security, so you set things up once and it works everywhere.

Questions about Chat

  1. Can Monotree Chat replace WhatsApp or Messenger at work?

    Yes, and that is what most companies use it for. Employees chat in your own branded app, find colleagues by name instead of phone number, and lose access when they leave the company. Private messaging apps give the company none of that control.

  2. Are chat messages encrypted?

    Yes. Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, and each customer runs on a dedicated server in the EU.

  3. How do shift chats work?

    When Monotree is connected to your shift planning system, the app knows who works when. An employee can open a chat with everyone on the same shift in one tap, and the chat is hidden again after the shift.

  4. Can employees call each other in the app?

    Yes. Voice and video calls are part of Monotree and included in the price.

  5. Can employees turn off notifications outside working hours?

    Yes. Each employee can set quiet hours per weekday, mute individual chats and turn on vacation mode.

  6. Can other systems send messages into a chat?

    Yes. With incoming webhooks and bots, your own systems can post into a chat or send a direct message to one employee. The message is clearly marked as coming from a bot, not a colleague.

  7. Do we pay extra for Chat?

    No. Monotree has one price per user, and it covers every feature including Chat, along with AI, integrations, personal onboarding and live chat support. There are no modules or add-ons.

  8. Can employees use Chat on both iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Your employees use Monotree as your own branded app on iPhone and Android, and administrators manage content and settings in a web-based CMS.
