Organizations

Each organization represents a separate chatting space, such as a workspace in Slack or a tenant in Teams.

The page below explains how to manage the state of your organization and its members, including new member invitations.

In case a new organization needs to be created (e.g. to represent the chatting platform of a daughter company or a business division), it can be done easily by following these steps.

Important
Please keep in mind that, in order to start connecting chats together, you can invite members of organizations you don't manage to your universal channels.
It's NOT necessary, and not possible, to create a new organization for a chatting space that was already signed up for Pritell.
