Do you often face situations that require a group action in a chat? Just create a poll!
You can also mention group members in a chat. As long as the group owner allows, anyone can at mention ALL members and get opinions.
In addition, remember to make good use of emojis to reply to other people's ideas, so as to avoid repeated pleasantries 😁
Feishu group chats also support group announcements and other incredibly convenient features! Create your first group chat to discover them all ❤️
