Guests are a feature available on paid plans only. There are two types of guest users in Pumble:

  • Single channel guests
  • Multi-channel guests

Multi-channel guests are charged as regular users and hey can be added to an unlimited number of private or public channels, but only to the channels you specify.

Single-channel guests can only be a member of one private or public channel, and you can invite up to 5 single-channel guests free of charge, for each paid seat on your Workspace. This means that for each purchased seat on a workspace, you get 5 single-channel guests for free.

It’s important to note that within a single workspace, you cannot have a mix of subscription plans. The plan you purchase applies to the entire workspace, meaning that all users within that workspace share the same subscription plan.

Storage in Pumble takes into count all PDFs, documents, images, screenshots, and audio and video files (including audio and video messages) uploaded to a channel or direct message. Text messages and links shared in messages do not take storage space.

The amount of space available for a workspace varies by plan, and you can track available storage space by checking the storage indicator when you click on the arrow next to your Workspace icon. On Free plan, there is 10GB storage for the whole workspace. On paid plans storage is also shared across the workspace, but grows with the number of purchased seats. For example, if you have 10 seats purchased on PRO plan, your combined workspace memory will be 100GB.

All users (including Guests) can upload files. To free up storage, any user can delete the files they have uploaded to Pumble.

It is not necessary for workspace users to have the same email domain.

Yes, they can. Users added to a channel can see the whole channel history.

Sections are visible only to the user that made the sections. What could possibly solve your issue is to agree with your team to create the same sections for yourselves.

No, at the moment it is not possible to see who viewed a message on Pumble.

By default all regular members are added to the general channel when they join Pumble. In order to restrict a user from accessing the general channel, you can change their role to a guest (single-channel or multi-channel) and not include the general channel when choosing the channel(s) they can access. Also, when inviting a new user, you can invite them as a guest and choose not to add them to the general channel.

At the moment, it is not possible to turn off messaging between all users in a Workspace. It is possible to make a sort of restriction, if you add users as guests. Guests can only initiate direct messages with users that belong to the same channel(s) as they do. However, be aware that all regular members in the workspace can initiate direct messages with guests, and that way guests can still communicate with other workspace users.
