A 1:1 space is Rock's equivalent of a Direct Message, which means this space is only for you and the person you invited. You can invite and collaborate with anyone in a 1:1 space. Members of the 1:1 space can access all Rock features within that space: messaging, tasks, topics, notes, files, and meetings.

Creating a 1:1 space ?

We've made creating 1:1 spaces as easy and as intuitive as possible. Follow these steps to get started.Select the big plus in the bottom left corner of your screen, near the space list.

Once you click the button, you'll be prompted to choose whether you want to create a Group Space or a 1:1 Space.

Once you click the 1:1 Space button, you'll be asked to invite based on email, username, or phone number. Once you enter any of the three, you can proceed, and a space will be created.

Two things can happen when you send an invite to a 1:1 space, depending on whether or not they have an existing Rock account.

• If the user is already on Rock, they will receive an email if they have it selected in the notification panel. In addition, a Space will be created where the invited user can either accept or decline your invitation.
• If the invited user does not have a Rock account yet, they will receive an email invite in their inbox.
