Group Messages

Better Messages can enable group messaging within community plugin groups such as BuddyPress, Ultimate Member, PeepSo, and FluentCommunity.

How it works​

When enabled for a supported community plugin, each group gets its own shared conversation. All group members can participate in the group conversation. When new members join the group, they are automatically added to the conversation. When members leave the group, they are automatically removed. This creates a seamless messaging experience tied to your community's group structure.

Key capabilities​

  • Automatic group conversations for BuddyPress, Ultimate Member, PeepSo, and FluentCommunity groups
  • Members automatically added/removed when joining or leaving groups
  • File sharing within group conversations (configurable per integration)
  • Email notifications for group messages (configurable per integration)
  • All standard messaging features available in group conversations

How to enable​

Navigate to WP Admin → Better Messages → Settings → Integrations → then select your community plugin tab (BuddyPress, Ultimate Member, PeepSo, or FluentCommunity).

  • Enable Group Messaging — Turn on group conversations for the selected plugin
  • Enable File Sharing in Groups — Allow file attachments in group conversations
  • Enable Email Notifications for Groups — Send email notifications for group messages
note

The integration tab for each community plugin only appears when that plugin is installed and active.
