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 ❤️
- 2.Plan events faster
With Feishu Docs, you and your friends can easily work together to plan events.

Feishu Docs allows various permissions settings for file access. When you mention someone in a document, it will remind you whether to share the file with them. In addition, you can publish the document directly in a group chat and allow everyone from that group to edit it.
Whenever someone makes a comment, you will receive an actionable notification. Just click it to respond directly from the Feishu app.
You can also discuss the plan with your teammates in real-time using Feishu Meetings feature.
