Fluorine brings communication into the same space as your tasks and projects. Discuss work directly on tasks, inside projects, and in shared channels — without anything getting lost in a separate app.

​
Two messaging surfaces

  • Task comments — threaded discussion attached to a specific task. Questions, updates, and decisions about that task.
  • Project channels — shared channel inside each project for broader discussions, announcements, and decisions that affect the whole project.
Decide early which surface your team uses for which type of communication. When everyone follows the same norms, nothing falls through the cracks.
A simple rule that works for most teams: if the conversation is about a specific task, it goes in task comments. If it affects the project direction or involves people not on a specific task, it goes in the project channel.

​
Mentions

Use @name in any comment, task description, or channel message to send a direct notification and link a teammate to the relevant context. Common uses:
  • @sarah can you review this before Thursday? — in a task comment to request a review
  • @team heads up, the client moved the deadline — in a project channel for broad announcements
  • @alex this is blocked on your PR — to flag a dependency without creating a formal task dependency
Mentioned teammates get a Fluorine notification and, depending on their settings, an email or mobile push.

​
File sharing

1

Attach a file to a task

Open a task and click the Attachments icon. Drag and drop files or click Browse. Attached files are visible to everyone with access to the task.
2

Share a file in a message

In any task comment or project channel, click the paperclip icon or drag and drop into the message composer. The file appears inline in the thread.
3

Find shared files

All files attached to a project are indexed under Project → Files. Find assets shared across multiple tasks without hunting through individual threads.
Storage limits by plan: 25 GB on Starter, 100 GB on Pro, 250 GB on Business.

​
Workspace channels

Each project has its own channel. You can also create workspace-level channels for cross-project topics — #general for company-wide announcements, #design-feedback for discussions that span multiple projects. To create a workspace channel:
  1. Click + New Channel in the left sidebar under Channels
  2. Name it and add a description
  3. Invite specific members or make it open to everyone
Workspace channels are visible to all members by default. Toggle Private when creating to restrict access to a subset of the team.

​
Notifications

1

Open notification settings

Go to Settings → Notifications for controls over in-app and email notifications.
2

Choose your notification level

  • All activity — every comment, mention, status change, and file upload on tasks you’re assigned to or following
  • Mentions and direct messages only — only @mentions and DMs
  • None — silence everything (useful for deep work, but check in regularly)
3

Set quiet hours

Under Do Not Disturb, configure hours when Fluorine holds notifications. Essential for distributed teams — no 2 AM pings from teammates in other time zones.
4

Follow tasks and channels

Click Follow on any task or channel to receive notifications for it regardless of assignment. Useful for work you want to monitor without owning.

​
Async vs. real-time

Async

Task comments, project channel updates, and file attachments. Team members respond when available — context is preserved in the thread.

Real-time

Direct messages and live channel conversations. Use when you need a fast decision or quick clarification.

Pin this in your main workspace channel so every new team member finds it on day one.

Set explicit response time expectations. For async communication, 24 hours is a reasonable default. For urgent direct messages, agree on 2 to 4 hours during working hours.

​
Distributed teams

Encourage teammates to leave a brief comment on active tasks before signing off — what they completed, what’s blocked, what’s next. Teammates in other time zones have full context when they start their day.
Fluorine’s AI generates a summary of recent activity in any project or thread. Use it when you return from a break or vacation to catch up without reading every message. See AI Copilot for details.
Pin decisions and important links in project channels so they’re easy to find without scrolling. Click the three-dot menu on any message and select Pin to channel.
