Channels
Dedicated spaces for communication and collaboration – open, private, or shared.
Work in channels, manage tasks
Share and edit content in real time – with channels, To-Do-Lists, WebDAV/Nextcloud, and the native Sparks Cloud calendar (EU Postgres). Sparks brings people and content together in one place, even across organizational boundaries.
