This guide walks you through creating a chat on the Rival platform — from a basic single-locale chat to a multi-lingual chat with multiple locales.
Creating a New Chat
Navigate to the All Chats page from the app header.
Click the Create new button.
The Create chat drawer will slide in from the right side of the screen. Fill in the following details:
Field | Description |
Chat name | Give your chat a clear, descriptive name. (Required) |
Language (Locale) | Select the primary language/locale for your chat (e.g., English (United States)). This becomes the chat's default locale. (Required) |
Field in multiple locales | Leave unchecked for a single-locale chat. Check this to add secondary locales (see Creating a Multi-lingual Chat). |
Chat category | Select a category for your chat: Communication, Engagement, Recruitment, Research, Other, or Demo. (Required) |
4. Click CREATE.
Your new chat opens in the chat tree view, ready for you to start adding cards and authoring content.
