Cord makes products multiplayer. Cord’s software and APIs add a set of continuously evolving asynchronous and real-time features that teams love: chat, presence, annotations, integrations with task managers and Slack, screen recordings, audio messages, live co-browsing and video chat.

Once you've added collaboration powered by Cord to your product, a small circular icon will appear on the bottom right of any pages you define in your product. Your users will be able to access this straight away, without any separate log in. To open and close the collaboration sidebar, simply click on the circular icon.

If you are looking for how to add Cord to your product, start here.

Click the circular icon to open the sidebar. Then, you can begin composing your message by selecting the Aa button on the bottom right.

To invite a teammate using a comment, type the @ sign then their name (no space between them, like this: @Harriet).

To invite a teammate by assigning them a task, type the + sign then their name (no space between them, like this: +Harriet).

Whichever way you invite a teammate, they will receive a notification in Slack inviting them to join Cord.

Click the gear icon to the left of the face pile (your and your teammates' photos in the top right of the sidebar). From there, you can change your photo and edit your name as well as adjust other settings.

You can subscribe or unsubscribe to any thread by clicking the bell icon to the right of the "Reply to thread" composer. Unsubscribing means you won't receive any notifications about new messages in this thread in your Inbox or in Slack, except if someone @mentions you.

You can keep track of any conversations you were a part of or tasks assigned to you by looking at your Inbox. You can access your Inbox towards the top of the sidebar, to the right of Current page.

Select Create task from the black bar near the bottom of the sidebar; it's the clipboard icon. That will take you into the composer where you can select the clipboard icon next to the word Task to open up the menu. There you can connect Asana, Jira or Linear.

Select Create task from the bar near the bottom of the sidebar; it's the clipboard icon. Or, start composing a message and select the clipboard icon underneath "Type a message..." There you can type the task and choose which task manager you'd like to use (Cord will save your preference).

After you create a task, you will see an icon of sliders to the right. Select that to choose various task settings, including the project and priority.

Select Create task from the bar near the bottom of the sidebar; it's the clipboard icon. Or, start composing a message and select the clipboard icon underneath "Type a message..." There you can type the task and choose which task manager you'd like to use (Cord will save your preference).

To assign a task to yourself or a teammate, type + their name, with no space like so: +Anna Tate.

You'll be able to see anyone who's viewed that page in the top right hand corner of the page. If their photo glows, they are actively viewing that page. You can also hover over their face to see the last time they viewed the page.

Adding Cord to your product through an integration enables you to add Figma-like, native collaborative features all in a single line of Javascript. The integration is full of everything teams need: chat, presence, annotations and integrations with task managers and Slack. The Collaboration API will continuously evolve and improve.

By integrating with Cord, your users can start collaborating without creating a separate Cord account. You can also customize several elements of the sidebar to match your brand's look and feel.
