Team chat, calls & meetings
Built-in team chat with channels and DMs, voice and video calls, screen sharing and actionable HR cards — no per-user license for a separate chat tool.
Work chat lives on consumer apps where company data mixes with family groups, leavers keep the history, and HR requests still require opening another system.
Zaffre Connect is the suite’s own communication layer: channels, DMs, calls and screen sharing on company-controlled infrastructure — where an approval request arrives as a card you can act on without leaving the conversation.
Zaffre Connect gives companies a communication platform that belongs to them. Conversations organise into channels and direct messages; files, mentions and search work as expected; and presence spans web, desktop and mobile apps with native notifications and lock-screen ringing for calls.
Calls are first-class: voice, video and screen sharing for one-to-one and group conversations, with call quality controls and native OS integration on each platform. Daily standup prompts and check-in reminders keep distributed teams synchronous enough.
The integration is what a standalone chat can never offer: HR events arrive as actionable cards. A leave request shows Approve and Reject in the thread; task assignments deep-link to the task; support tickets post their updates. Chat becomes the front end of the whole suite.
Built-in safeguards against fake attendance
Channels and DMs
Team channels, group chats and direct messages with files, mentions and search — the standard toolkit, inside the suite.
Calls with screen share
Voice and video calls with screen sharing, ringing across web, desktop and mobile with OS-native call surfaces.
Actionable HR cards
Leave, loan and approval requests post into chat as cards with Approve/Reject actions — decisions happen where attention already is.
Joiner-leaver hygiene
Access follows employment automatically: new hires appear, leavers lose access, and the history stays with the company.
