    Invite a user to use kChat

    This guide explains how to invite an external user to your Organization on kChat who will be counted as a kSuite user.

     

    Preamble

    • Refer to this other guide to grant access to one or more kChat channels to an external user who can then interact with your team without being counted as a kSuite user and without having any special rights in the Organization (of which they will not be a part).
    • You can also invite a work team in full from kChat.
    • Refer to this other guide if you wish to manage the channels to which new members will automatically belong.

     

    Invite to use kSuite

    Prerequisites

    •  Be an administrator of the Organization where kSuite is located with full rights granted for kChat.

    Once invited, the user can confirm their membership and will access kChat with the limited permissions you have granted them:

    1. Click here to access the management of kChat on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
    2. Click on Add a user:
    3. Click on Create a kSuite user.
    4. Click on Next:
    5. Enter the user's first and last name, and define their role as a basic user:
      • Legal representative
        • Legal responsibility of the organization
        • Can manage all products and users
        • Can manage accounting and orders for new products
      • Administrator
        • Can manage all products and users
        • Can manage accounting and orders for new products
      • User
        • Can manage the products you authorize
        • Can manage accounting if you authorize it
    6. Do not create an email address for the user and indicate their existing email address to which to send the invitation:
      • You can force this future user to log in with this email address or allow them to specify another email address (useful if they already have a user account with Infomaniak with another login identifier).
      • Add the user to your kSuite with the toggle switch.
    7. Click on the Invite button:

    The invitation is pending until the invited user's final registration (read more below). The Organization's user dashboard clearly indicates this status:

     

    Accept the invitation

    In order to access the Organization holding kChat:

    1. The invited user receives the invitation to their email address and clicks on the Accept the invitation:
    2. They specify their contact details as well as the email address / password they wish to use and complete the registration:
    3. Once the registration is complete, the newly registered user can log in to their Manager and access kChat to which they have been invited.
    4. Existing users are automatically notified of the arrival of the new participant and can now converse with them; as soon as they are added, the new user receives a message from kChat.bot welcoming them:

     

    Access to kSuite, and not access to the management of kSuite!

    It is important to differentiate the use of the kChat app (within kSuite) and the management of kSuite itself.

    In the invitation example above, the new user has been invited to join kChat, they are counted as a kSuite user when an administrator accesses the management of their kSuite users:

    However, this new user will not be able to directly manage the kSuite to which they have been invited since their role (defined in the first point 5 above) does not authorize them to do so.

    This is why this user will not see any active link in the Collaborative Tools → kSuite section of their Infomaniak anager. They will need to switch to the Infomaniak applications using the menu ‍ at the top right:

    Note that if necessary, this user can order their own kSuite without any link to the kSuite to which they have been invited.

    Create a kMeet meeting from kChat

    This guide explains how to start an audio or video conversation between one or more users kChat, with Infomaniak's free ethical videoconferencing solution, kMeet.

     

    Preamble

    • The call function in kChat is available on all Web (browser), mobile (iOS / Android) and computer (macOS / Windows) versions.

     

    Create a meeting between kChat users

    To be able to discuss in a virtual room with the microphone and webcam of your device, simply press the Call button visible on any kChat conversation, private or public channel, via the application or directly on the browser:

    • Call a user directly if you are in a direct discussion with them, or initiate a call to all members of a channel if you start the meeting from the channel.
    • Calling a user who is set to "Do Not Disturb" will not trigger a ring or call modal on their end, but they will see the message in the conversation.
    • The microphone is enabled by default when the call is accepted, but not the camera.
    • View the users of the meeting (who accepted, declined, or missed it) using the avatars in the kChat message.
    • Once the call has started, an emoji appears in your kChat status to indicate that you are busy with the conversation.
    • A message sent from the video (kMeet) will also be visible in the kChat conversation (and vice versa).
    • Indications regarding the start and end of the meeting automatically appear in the relevant kChat conversation thread.

     

    Specifics for calls in channels

    • The call will not ring for the recipients, but they will see a message in kChat as well as a notification.
    • A warning message will appear if you want to start a call in a channel with more than 7 users.

     

    Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about kMeet.

    Understand the limits and constraints of obsolete hardware or system

    This guide addresses issues that may arise when using Infomaniak applications (such as kChat, kDrive, kAuth, etc.) or tools (such as config.infomaniak.com, the Manager Infomaniak, etc.) with outdated hardware (OS, browser, devices, etc.) old / not up to date / obsolete‍.

     

    Preamble

    • For example, it will not be possible to comfortably access Infomaniak services with an iPhone 5s or 6 on iOS 12.
    • It is therefore recommended to regularly update browsers and operating systems to benefit from the best possible experience with the Infomaniak infrastructure.
    • Also, refer to this other guide which is more specifically focused on browsers and their components.
    • And are you using the latest version of the Infomaniak app concerned?

     

    Update the OS, browser, etc.

    Old systems or browsers can cause slowness, errors, or incorrect display. It is therefore preferable to rely on regularly updated components because Infomaniak apps work optimally on up-to-date systems and recent hardware.

    Example for kChat:

    kChatMinimum requirement
    Web App (browser)Chrome 134+, Firefox 128+, Safari 17.4+, Edge 134+
    Mobile app (iOS)iOS 15.1+ (iPhone 6s or newer)
    Mobile app (Android)Android 7.0+ with up-to-date Chrome
    Desktop app (macOS)macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
    Desktop app (Windows)Windows 10 or later
    Desktop app (Linux)Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or an equivalent maintained distribution

     

    If you encounter any issues with an internet browser, try updating it or installing an alternative:

    • Google Chrome
      https://www.google.com/chrome/
      (The site automatically detects the operating system and offers the latest version)
    • Mozilla Firefox
      https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/
      (Download and update page for Windows, macOS and Linux)
    • Microsoft Edge
      https://www.microsoft.com/edge
      (The link offers automatic update or download depending on the system)
    • Safari (macOS only)
      https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/HT204416
      (Safari updates are handled through macOS system updates)
    • Opera
      https://www.opera.com/fr/download
      (Allows you to download the latest version for your system)
    • Brave
      https://brave.com/download/
      (Download page with automatic operating system detection)

     

    Technologies used by Infomaniak

    Many of the web tools developed by Infomaniak use Angular. The need for up-to-date or recent hardware to run applications is not specific to Angular itself but rather a general requirement for running any modern web application. Here are a few reasons why up-to-date hardware is often necessary:

    1. Angular relies on advanced features of modern browsers, which are often missing or poorly managed in older versions.
    2. Recent browsers optimize JavaScript execution and graphical rendering, which improves the fluidity of Angular applications.
    3. Up-to-date versions fix known vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of compromise.
    4. Modern browsers are more compliant with the latest HTML, CSS and JavaScript specifications, ensuring better compatibility.
    5. Modern APIs (camera, geolocation, notifications, etc.) are only accessible through recent browsers, which are essential for interactive experiences.

    Use Euria on kChat (conversational agent)

    This guide allows you to quickly discover the essential functions of Euria, the artificial intelligence at your disposal within kSuite, particularly powerful as a conversational agent on the app kChat.

     

    Preamble

    • Euria can help you perform all kinds of calculations, translations, provide information on various subjects, and answer your questions.
    • Refer to this other guide regarding the model used and the responsibilities of each party.
    • As soon as a new user is added, they receive a welcome message from Euria.
    • Refer to this other guide regarding the possibilities of AI summaries on kChat.

     

    Add Euria to kChat contacts

    The bots currently available on kChat are already part of your contacts.

    If you don't see them yet, click in the left sidebar of kChat…

    1. … on the channel search (bots also appear as channels)
    2. … or on the + icon next to Direct Messages to search for the bot
      ​
    3. Add the bots labeled as such with the tag [bot] or search for the term bot or chat.
      ​

    Invite an external user to use kChat

    This guide explains how to add a completely external user to kChat.

     

    Preamble

    • If you are the administrator of the Organization on which my kSuite (and therefore kChat) is located with full rights granted for kChat, you can invite a completely external user to your Organization who will not be counted as a user.
    • The latter will, however, be invited to create an Infomaniak account if they do not already have one.
    • To add a kChat user and give them more rights, refer to this other guide.

     

    Invite a user to chat in a private channel

    To send an invitation by email from kChat:

    1. Click here to access the kChat Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kchat) or open the kChat desktop app (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).
    2. Click the button to Invite members:
    3. Click the link to invite a new user:
    4. Specify the email address(es) of the person(s) to invite.
    5. Specify the channel(s) to which these people will have access.
    6. Click the blue button to send the invitation:
    7. The invited person receives an email with a link leading to the kChat interface and the channel shared with them:
    8. Obviously, there is a registration phase if the user does not yet have an Infomaniak account and during this time, the invited user is indeed listed on the kChat channel in question:
      • Note that it will not be listed as pending within my kSuite or elsewhere as it is a restricted and external user; and as long as it has not completed its registration, the quota remains at 0/100 external users:
    9. Once registration is complete, the user can access kChat:
      • From the administrator account, once the external user's registration is complete, you get the mention of 1 external user on your my kSuite dashboard:
      • And you have the indication on kChat that the user is accessing your private channel:

     

    Permissions of the invited user

    Guests can…

    • … pin messages to channels
    • … use "slash commands" (except for restricted commands such as inviting members, renaming channels, modifying headers, etc.)
    • … add a channel to favorites
    • … mute a channel
    • … update their profile
    • … use authentication methods different from those of other users
    • … use the kChat app: the guest can open the app (Web, mobile, or desktop) whether they are already a member of a kChat or not; this operating principle is different with my kSuite+, for example.

    Guests cannot…

    • … discover public channels
    • … join open teams
    • … create direct messages or group messages with members who are not part of the same channel
    • … invite people

    Replace Skype with Infomaniak

    Infomaniak offers to replace Skype with its own solutions, whether for individual calls, remote meetings, or team exchanges.

     

    kMeet, video conferencing for individuals & businesses

    Despite its initial success, the communication platform Skype has seen its use decrease in the face of the emergence of solutions better integrated with new collaborative uses.

    One of the simplest ways to replace Skype is to adopt kMeet:

    • Unlimited audio and video calls
    • Access without registration
    • Compatibility Web, mobile and desktop
    • Integrated chat & reactions (emojis, sounds)
    • Screen sharing with drawing tools, remote control
    • Breakout rooms
    • Integration with calendar (video link creation)
    • Integration with kDrive for storing meeting recordings
    • Integration with kChat for video calls
    • Privacy respect (no ads, hosted in Switzerland)
    • Security with AES-256 encryption
    • Eco-friendly (renewable energy, CO2 compensation)

     

    Replace Skype with kMeet

    The alternative kMeet to replace Skype can be implemented in different ways:

     

    1. Quick use without registration

    To start a private communication between several people on the Internet, it is enough for one of them to go to kMeet and then communicate the meeting link to the others. Here is the step-by-step procedure:

    1. Enter kmeet.infomaniak.com on a browser like Chrome or Safari.
    2. Click on Start a new meeting:
    3. Enter a name for the meeting, which allows future participants to know the subject of the discussion they are joining.
    4. Click on the button to Continue:
    5. Grant the necessary rights to kMeet:
    6. Enter your name, the one that other participants will see.
    7. Enable or disable any communication means if these should not be used for the moment.
    8. Click on the button to join the virtual meeting room (as the first participant since no one has been invited except you for the moment):
    9. There you go, the room is created and you can now copy the information related to this session and send it to the correspondents so that they can join you (they will only have to execute the link you send them).
    10. Close the information window so that you can all chat together:
    11. The toolbar at the bottom of the screen allows you to enable or disable the microphone, the camera, etc.:

    To discover all the possibilities that kMeet offers, refer to this other guide.

     

    2. Planning and invitations with my kSuite

    To work efficiently, kMeet can be directly connected to your professional calendar. This means that every time you create an event in your calendar…

    • … a video conference link is automatically generated…
    • … participants receive the invitation by email with all the information…
    • … and on the day of the event, they can join the meeting in one click, without registration or software to install.

    Benefit: you centralize the management of meetings, reduce forgetfulness and simplify organization, all from a single interface.

    To set up this solution:

    1. Sign up for my kSuite to get an email address, for example anna.alpha@ikmail.com and, above all, access to Infomaniak services.
    2. Access the calendar ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar and then create an event on the day of your choice.
    3. Add participants to the event, even if they are not Infomaniak customers.
    4. Click the green button to automatically add a kMeet link to the event.
    5. Click the button to save your event:
    6. Invitations will then be automatically sent by email to the participants, containing the clickable link to join the online discussion when the time comes:
    7. The kMeet meeting link is also visible on the event in the calendar directly:

     

    3. Call your correspondent like Skype

    To start a conversation at any time with a contact previously saved in your address book, you must both have kChat, available within the Infomaniak kSuite. To set up this solution, which can also be extended to an entire group of contacts:

    1. Sign up for kSuite to get access to the corresponding Infomaniak services.
    2. Configure the users (these can even be external) on the kSuite.
    3. Install the kChat app or go to the URL https://ksuite.infomaniak.com/kchat
    4. A user can then be called via kChat, which will ring the recipient's device:
      • = Internet browser if the kChat URL is open, or computer/mobile device if the kChat app is installed.
      • Refer to this other guide to learn more about video calls on kChat.
    5. Your correspondent can then choose to answer; the call will be made with the kMeet technology within kChat or on the kMeet app if it is installed.

    Restore your mailbox at Infomaniak

    This guide is for you if you wish to change your current email provider and host your emails with Infomaniak.

     

    Preamble

    • To help you identify the offer best suited to your needs, refer to this other guide.

     

    Bring your email to Infomaniak

    To avoid losing any messages and experiencing any interruptions:

    • Follow the different links provided in order, they will open in a new tab of your browser, and return to this main guide after each completed step.
    • If necessary, you can also migrate your:
      • Calendars
      • Contacts
      • and other data

     

    You order a Mail Service only

    Below are the different steps to migrate your mail service to Infomaniak securely.

     

    Step 1: It is necessary to order the mail service by following this guide.

    At the time of ordering, you can choose to transfer the domain name at the same time or to order the mail service alone.

    You can then import the content of your old addresses to Infomaniak by following this guide.

     

    Step 2: Once the addresses are configured and your old content imported, you will be able to link your external domain name to your Infomaniak Mail Service to start receiving emails with Infomaniak. You will need to follow the chapter "Link the external domain to your Mail Service" of this guide.

    You will find here the MX / SPF to add in the DNS zone of your domain name:

    SPF
    Type: TXT
    Host: Leave blank
    Target: v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all

    MX
    Priority: 5
    Host: Leave blank
    Target: mta-gw.infomaniak.ch (for Gandi, it is necessary to add a dot at the end "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch." )

     

    Step 3 (optional): When everything is working correctly and if it hasn't been done already, you can transfer your domain name by following this guide.

    As soon as the transfer is initiated, you should have access to the DNS zone of your domain name on the Infomaniak Manager. You can therefore check…

    1. … in the DNS diagnostic if there are any corrections to be made and if necessary add the DNS entries that would be necessary for other services used with your domain name (newsletter or other).

    2. … in the global security tab of your mail service if DKIM is properly activated.

    If emails arrived during the migration with your former provider, you can re-import the content of your old addresses with Infomaniak by following this guide (duplicates are managed).

     

    You order a kSuite

    Here are the different steps to migrate your external mail service to an Infomaniak kSuite securely.

     

    Step 1: Order kSuite from this page.

    Once the order is completed, access your kSuite and add your domain name to it.

    You can then create your email addresses and even import the content of your old addresses by following this guide.

     

    Step 2: Once the addresses are configured and your old content imported, you will be able to link your external domain name to your Infomaniak Mail Service to start receiving emails with Infomaniak. You will need to follow the chapter "Link the external domain to your Mail Service" of this guide.

    You will find here the MX / SPF to add in the DNS zone of your domain name:

    SPF
    Type: TXT
    Host: Leave blank
    Target: v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all

    MX
    Priority: 5
    Host: Leave blank
    Target: mta-gw.infomaniak.ch (for Gandi, it is necessary to add a dot at the end "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch." )

     

    Step 3 (optional): When everything is working correctly and if it hasn't been done already, you can transfer your domain name by following this guide.

    As soon as the transfer is initiated, you should have access to the DNS zone of your domain name on the Infomaniak Manager. You can therefore check…

    1. … in the DNS diagnostic if there are any corrections to be made and if necessary add the DNS entries that would be necessary for other services used with your domain name (newsletter or other).

    2. … in the global security tab of your mail service if DKIM is properly activated.

    If emails arrived during the migration with your former provider, you can re-import the content of your old addresses with Infomaniak by following this guide (duplicates are managed).
