What ImpactChat is
Universities create event rooms for service teams, join rooms for a response and message community partners directly.
What you can do
Everything below is a screen or a field in the product, not a roadmap item.
Talk across the network, or one to one, without leaving the platform.
Create a room for a response or drive, add sub-rooms, and start from a template.
Launch a fully structured event room from a template in one click.
Write and share a document together beside the conversation.
Ask the group a question with a poll, and call someone in with a mention.
Start an audio or video call from an event room. Everyone in the room is notified and can join while it runs.
Share photos, documents, voice notes and your location, and forward a message.
Keep members-only conversation, including private channels, inside an Internal Matrix, separate from the public chat.

Why this matters for academia
The problem
Student projects lose their conversations at the end of a term.
What the platform does
Rooms persist with the partner.
What leadership sees
Continuity from one cohort to the next.
Is this the right fit?
Honest answer first.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You coordinate students and partners on service projects.
Use something else when
You need a learning management system.
Where this sits in the chain
Every posted need travels the same path. Follow it forward or back.
Questions
Is ImpactChat separate from Internal Chat?
Yes. ImpactChat is the public coordination layer. Internal Chat is confined to an Internal Matrix's members and sits beside the private needs and shipments they concern.
Can we make a room for one disaster?
Yes. An event room can have nested sub-rooms up to two levels deep, and you can start from a template instead of a blank room.
Can we call from the chat?
Yes. Start an audio or video call from any event room. Everyone in the room is notified, and calls end automatically after 10 minutes.
Can students use ImpactChat?
ImpactChat is part of the platform, so people on your organization's seats can use it.
One platform. Every day your mission matters.
