This guide covers the installation of kChat, the instant messaging solution of my kSuite. Also refer to the getting started guide.

 

Get kChat

kChat is offered with my kSuite, with capabilities adapted to each version of my kSuite.

Once you have set up my kSuite within your Organization:

  • Access the kChat Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kchat)
  • … or click here to download the mobile app (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet) and the desktop app (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).

 

Install kChat

macOS

  • kChat requests access to the macOS Keychain for “Chromium Safe Storage”, which is used to store your access token.
  • This request is normal and necessary for kChat to function properly; no additional sensitive data is requested and nothing is sent outside.

Linux

  • On Linux, kChat is distributed in AppImage format, so depending on your system configuration, it may be necessary to disable sandboxing for the application to work correctly:
    • If kChat does not start, run it from a terminal with the following command: ./kchat.AppImage --no-sandbox
    • You can also create a launcher or a script including this parameter to avoid having to enter it each time you use it.

Este guia detalha o uso de emojis e outros emoticons para reagir e interagir nas discussões do serviço kChat.

 

Adicionar uma reação a uma mensagem

Para reagir a qualquer mensagem à qual você tenha acesso no kChat, basta passar o mouse sobre a mensagem e selecionar…

  • o emoticon na seleção;
  • ou o emoji com o pequeno +:
  • Se já houver reações (exibidas abaixo das mensagens), você pode adicionar uma no mesmo local:

     

Isso abrirá o painel com centenas de emojis disponíveis (e até mesmo emojis personalizados – leia mais abaixo).

 

Expresse-se com um emoji ou GIF

Adicionar um emoji dentro da mensagem que você está escrevendo é muito simples:

  • Basta clicar no ícone de rosto sorridente na barra de formatação da sua mensagem:
  • Você pode então escolher um emoji ou inserir GIFs animados curtos em vez de um emoji, usando a aba localizada na parte superior do painel que aparece quando você clica no rosto sorridente:

     
  • Se você souber o nome do símbolo a ser inserido, também pode digitar : (dois pontos) seguido das 2 primeiras letras, no mínimo:

Dica: se você adicionar #, ## ou ### como o primeiro caractere de uma nova linha contendo um emoji, poderá usar um emoji maior. Para testar, envie uma mensagem como '# :smile:' (atenção, suas configurações personalizadas podem "desativar" essa funcionalidade de exibição na sua interface).

Para definir o tom padrão dos emojis de pessoas, clique neste símbolo no painel de emojis:

 

Emojis personalizados

Para gerenciar emojis adicionais, clique neste botão no painel de emojis:

Especifique um nome com até 64 caracteres. Ele pode conter letras minúsculas, números e os caracteres “-”, “+” e “_”.

Especifique um arquivo .gif, .png ou .jpg para o seu emoji. O arquivo pode ter até 1 MB. O tamanho é redimensionado automaticamente para 128 x 128 pixels, mantendo a proporção.

O emoji poderá então ser usado por todos os usuários do kChat da sua organização, usando o nome exclusivo que você atribuiu a ele:

… from a URL

Insert the following code into your message, replacing the alt text and the image address (URL) with the image link (the latter must be accessible and visible on the Web):

![alt-text](https://www.domain.xyz/xyz/image.png)

 

Example

Message with the image insertion syntax:
sign

And if the URL to the image is in your clipboard, simply paste the link into a conversation and the image will be added to your message.

 

… from your hard drive or kDrive

Click on the paperclip icon to insert an existing image from your hard drive or from kDrive:
sign

The image will be inserted into the message, which you can then send directly in the conversation without necessarily adding additional text.

This guide explains how to invite a user to kChat who is not yet part of your Organization but will be counted as a kSuite user.

 

Introduction

  • 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 specific rights within the Organization (of which they will not be a part).
  • You can also invite an entire Group from kChat.
  • Refer to this other guide if you want to manage the channels to which new members will automatically belong.

 

Invite to use kSuite

Prerequisites

  • Be a kChat administrator:
    • The role within the Organization is irrelevant; being an Organization administrator in the Organization that has the kSuite (and therefore kChat) is not required, and is not sufficient in any case:

       

Then, invite the user using the procedure below. 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 kChat management section in 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 name and last name, and define their role as a standard user:
    • Legal representative
      • Legal responsibility for the organization
      • Can manage all products and users
      • Can manage accounting and new product orders
    • Administrator
      • Can manage all products and users
      • Can manage accounting and new product orders
    • User
      • Can manage the products you authorize
      • Can manage accounting if you authorize it
  6. Do not create a mail address for the user and instead indicate their existing mail address to which the invitation should be sent:
    • You can require this future user to log in with this mail address or allow them to specify a different mail address (this is particularly useful if they already have a user account with Infomaniak with a different login ID).
    • Add the user to your kSuite using the toggle switch.
  7. Click the Invite button:
    • The invitation is pending until the invited user completes the registration (see below). The organization's user dashboard clearly indicates this status:

 

Accept the invitation

To access the organization that owns kChat:

  1. The invited user receives the invitation at their mail address and clicks the Accept invitation button:
  2. They specify their contact details as well as the mail 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 the kChat to which they were invited.
  4. Existing users are automatically notified of the new participant's arrival and can now chat with them. As soon as they are added, the new user receives a welcome message from Euria (Infomaniak's AI Bot):

 

Access to kSuite, not access to kSuite management!

It is important to differentiate between using the kChat app (within kSuite) and managing kSuite itself.

In the invitation example above, the new user was invited to join kChat, so they are now counted as a kSuite user when an administrator accesses the kChat user management section:

The same applies to kSuite user management:

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

  1. This is why this user will not see any active links in the Collaborative Tools → kSuite section of their Infomaniak Manager.
  2. They will need to switch to the Infomaniak applications using the menu in the top right corner:

Note that, if desired, this user can order their own kSuite, independent of the kSuite to which they were invited.

Este guia detalha o princípio das conversas kChat, organizadas em Canais de discussão privados e públicos, e de discussões diretas entre utilizadores.

 

Iniciar uma conversa

Para escrever para um utilizador da sua Organização, clique no nome dele na lista de membros à esquerda da sua interface kChat:

Também pode clicar no + à direita de Mensagens pessoais para selecionar até 7 membros e, assim, criar uma conversa em grupo:

Escreva e envie a sua mensagem premindo o botão de envio:

Se necessário, pode anexar ficheiros até 100 MB. Também pode usar as “reações”.

 

Envio agendado: programar uma mensagem

 

✘ INDISPONÍVEL com
my kSuite / my kSuite+ (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)

kSuite gratuito não permite a personalização do horário ao programar.


 

Para programar um envio para uma data/hora posterior, basta clicar na seta para a direita do botão de envio e, em seguida, escolher o momento em que a mensagem deve ser enviada:

No aplicativo móvel kChat (aplicativo para smartphone ou tablet iOS/Android), pressione o botão de envio por alguns segundos e um menu para agendar a mensagem será exibido.

 

Mencionar outro usuário

Para solicitar a atenção de um dos membros da Organização (ou de um Grupo) por meio de uma mensagem, digite o símbolo "@" para exibir as pessoas ou os canais que podem ser mencionados:

Atenção: dependendo do tipo de canal, mencionar um usuário exibirá uma mensagem que permite adicioná-lo à discussão (ou notificá-lo), caso contrário, ele não verá a menção.

 

Solicitar confirmação de leitura

Para que os usuários possam confirmar o recebimento da sua mensagem e indicar que a leram, ative a confirmação de leitura antes de enviar a mensagem no canal, clicando no ícone (!) e, em seguida, ativando o botão de alternância:

Depois que a mensagem for enviada, o resultado será o seguinte:

 

Editar/excluir uma mensagem ou fixá-la

Para editar uma mensagem (que exibirá uma indicação de mensagem editada), clique no menu de ação à direita da mensagem a ser editada. No mesmo local, você também pode excluir sua mensagem, que desaparecerá da discussão para todos os usuários:

Uma indicação sobre a exclusão aparecerá para todos os outros usuários do canal no local original da mensagem.

No mesmo local, você pode fixar uma mensagem:

  • As mensagens fixadas são visíveis por todos os membros do canal, seja ele público ou privado.
  • As mensagens fixadas em um canal privado são acessíveis apenas aos membros desse canal.
  • Você pode consultar a lista de todas as mensagens fixadas através da opção «Mensagens fixadas» do canal.
  • Para remover uma mensagem fixada, passe o mouse sobre ela novamente e selecione «Remover fixação».

 

Organizar as conversas no kChat

O tipo de ordenação para os elementos que você gerencia no lado esquerdo da tela é muito importante.

Imagine abrir o kChat após vários dias de ausência; as conversas não lidas serão exibidas umas abaixo das outras. Após ler essas conversas, você pode querer encontrar uma informação lida em uma delas. Assim, uma ordenação por atividade recente, por exemplo (veja abaixo outras possibilidades), permite encontrar as últimas conversas que são relevantes para você.

Essa escolha do tipo de ordenação está disponível para todos os elementos: canais de discussão, categorias, mensagens diretas, etc. 

 

Pesquisar uma conversa

A pesquisa de elementos (palavra, participante, arquivo) está localizada na parte superior da janela. Uma vez encontrados resultados, eles aparecem no lado direito da janela:

 

Fio de discussão (thread)

  1. Seja qual for o canal ou o chat privado com outro usuário, você pode iniciar um fio de discussão a partir de outro, simplesmente escolhendo Responder na mensagem desejada.
  2. Um tópico de discussão será aberto em um painel lateral à direita, permitindo que cada usuário do canal contribua com seus comentários neste tópico específico sem interromper os possíveis novos tópicos do canal em andamento (este tópico pode então ser seguido ou ignorado para não receber mais notificações quando houver novas mensagens — o acompanhamento é gerenciado na parte superior do painel lateral).
  3. Esses tópicos de discussão são então centralizados para serem lidos e relidos na seção Tópicos de discussão da barra lateral esquerda.

This guide covers messages that start with / on kChat interpreted as slash commands.

 

Execute a slash command on kChat

To access slash commands on kChat:

  1. Click in the composition field within a channel.
  2. Enter a / (slash or forward slash) and the attached command.
  3. Confirm to send the command.

If you type only the / sign, a modal appears with the commands that can be executed, such as going offline, for example.

Here is a table of the main commands:

commanddescription
/awaymarks your status as "away"
/offlinemarks your status as "offline"
/onlinemarks your status as "online"
/dndmarks your status as "do not disturb"
/codeused to format text as code
/collapsehides the content of the element in the message
/expandexpands the content of the element in the message

/renamerenames the current channel
/leaveleaves the current channel
/mutemutes the current channel
/remindersmanages reminders
/searchsearches for messages and other content
/settingsopens the settings
/shortcutsdisplays keyboard shortcuts

 

Create a custom slash command

Prerequisites

  • Not be an external user (they will not see the menu Integrations).

To create a custom slash command:

  1. Click here to access the Web kChat app (online service kchat.infomaniak.com) or open the desktop kChat app (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).
  2. Click on the New icon next to your kChat organization name.
  3. Click on Integrations
  4. Click on Slash command
  5. Click the blue button to Add a command
  6. Configure the slash command (name, trigger (without the /), expected content type, action to execute*, etc., including whether the command should appear in the help modal mentioned in the chapter above).
    • * This can include calling an external API, running a script, displaying a specific response, etc. For this, you will generally need an external script or application that will respond to the commands. You can also set additional parameters for the command, such as dropdown options, checkboxes, etc., depending on your needs.
  7. Save the command.
  8. Make sure to test the command to ensure it works as expected.

 

Remember that creating custom slash commands may require additional programming skills, especially if you need to integrate custom features or interactions with external systems. Also, make sure to follow security best practices when creating these commands to avoid potential security vulnerabilities.

This guide explains how to configure an action on n8n to send a message to kChat when the conditions are met.

 

Prerequisites

 

Create the action on n8n

In your n8n session:

  1. Click to start from scratch:
  2. Click to add a first action.
  3. Choose a manual trigger:
  4. Click to add an action to trigger.
  5. Search for and activate an action of type “HTTP Request”:
  6. Choose the POST method.
  7. Enter the URL of your kChat webhook.
  8. Authentication is not required (already applied in the URL).
  9. Activate the “Send body” toggle switch to specify content:
  10. In the “Name” field, enter the exact term “text” as expected by kChat.
  11. In the “Value” field, enter the information you want to display on kChat.
  12. Click the button to test and apply your manual command:
  13. The message specified on n8n then appears on kChat:

Now that this base works, you might imagine replacing the fixed text with data from elsewhere. For example, add an “Imap” or “RSS Feed” node before the HTTP Request node. Thus, instead of writing the text by hand, click on the small gear next to Value > Expression to say: “Send to kChat the title of the last received email”…
