August 2026 was a major month for team communication and automation in Elevale. Chat moved from channel messaging to full threaded conversations - with catch-up, forwarding, and pinned messages - while workspace automations, calendar meetings, and multi-tool imports landed for execution teams.
Team chat
Threads - reply in thread from any channel message; open a dedicated thread panel with the parent message in context; browse active threads from the channel sidebar and header tabs in Team Chat.
Catch-up - return to a busy channel or thread and see what you missed; catch-up summaries help you rejoin conversations without scrolling through every message.
Forward messages - forward a message (with its context) to another channel or DM so information moves across conversations without copy-paste.
Pinned messages - pin important messages for everyone in the channel; open the bookmarks tab to revisit them later.
Unified layout - servers, channels, DMs, unread filters, and mobile-friendly channel navigation in one team chat experience.
In-channel search - search messages within the current channel from the conversation header.
Linked tasks - open linked tasks from the channel header to see work tied to the conversation without leaving chat.
Reliable live updates - improved loading performance and realtime delivery so new messages appear promptly in active channels.
Accurate unread counts - read state respects whether your browser tab is focused, so badge counts stay truthful while you work elsewhere.
Workspace automations
When/Then rules - automate task and chat workflows from Workspace Settings; trigger on task events, chat messages, and other workspace signals.
Business Plan custom fields - automation triggers can read and update custom brief fields where configured.
Calendar and scheduling
Workspace meetings - schedule meetings from the work calendar with attendee tracking and recurrence support.
Holiday calendars - regional holiday calendars for leave planning and auto-schedule awareness.
Task schedule slices - timed placement and schedule slices on tasks for day-level planning on the calendar.
Tasks and imports
Safer deletion - clearer handling when removing tasks that have comments, subtasks, or linked work.
Creation safeguards - rate limiting reduces accidental or automated task spam in busy workspaces.
HighLevel task sync - improved date handling and status mapping when tasks are created or updated from HighLevel automations.
Import your workspace - bring tasks and structure from Wrike, Basecamp, and Todoist via Import your workspace.

Batch intake - process multiple certification submissions together with clearer operator workflows.
Evidence review - streamlined evidence review UI for compliance operators.
