Copy a link to a message

Who can do this

Anyone who can read the conversation

Open in GISweaver

Every message has its own address. Paste it into another message, an email or a chat, and a colleague who opens it lands on that message, however far back it is.

  1. Point at the message and select the link, Copy link, in the bar at its top right. On a phone, open the ⋮ beside its time and select Copy link.

    One of your own messages with its bar at the top right, holding Reply in thread, Copy link and the menu.One of your own messages with its bar at the top right, holding Reply in thread, Copy link and the menu. Dark theme.

    The screen says Link copied.

  2. Paste the link where you want it.

    Whoever opens the link and can read the conversation lands on that message.

What happens next

The message opens marked for a moment, with everything after it loaded. A link to a reply opens its thread with the reply marked.

If something goes wrong

  • The link could not be copied. Your browser did not allow it. Copy the address from the browser's address bar instead.
  • This conversation is not available to you. The person who opened the link is not in the conversation. A direct conversation or a group opens only for the people in it.
  • The linked message isn’t in what’s shown here. Choose Show earlier messages to look further back. The message is more than a thousand messages back; the conversation opens at its newest messages.

Details

  • In a project's conversation, Copy link copies the address of the thread the message starts. It opens for anyone who can read the project. A thread's own menu, Thread options, has Copy link too.
  • A reply has Copy link as well, in its own bar or menu.
