What Are Teams & Topics in Melp?

Let’s break down how Melp helps you stay organized, connected, and productive—no matter what kind of project you’re working on.

Teams: Where Collaboration Begins

Teams in Melp are made up of people working toward a common goal. Whether you’re all in the same department, working across functions, or collaborating as external consultants, teams help bring everyone together under one digital roof.
Think of a team as your workspace for a project, department, or shared objective. Within that team, everything stays organized and secure—conversations, files, and meetings are only visible to team members.

Why Use Teams?

• Group related topics and discussions in one place
• Keep communication focused and structured
• Control who has access to what
• Collaborate seamlessly, even across departments or companies

Example: Let’s say you’re managing a product launch. You can create a “Product Launch Team” and include members from marketing, design, sales, and engineering. Everyone can contribute to the same project—but stay focused on their specific areas using Topics (we’ll get to that next ).

Team Roles in Melp

There are two key roles inside a team:
Team Admin (Owner) – The person who creates the team and manages it
Team Member – Invited users who contribute to team activities

Admins can also promote a member to admin—or even step down as an admin themselves.

Team Settings

Admins can easily manage settings like: - Adding/removing members
- Updating the team name, description, or image
- Promoting/demoting admins

Note: When you're added to a team, you're also automatically added to all its topics.

External Participants

Working with clients or outside collaborators? No problem. Melp allows external participants to join a team without being part of your company. They’ll only see the specific team or group they're invited to—nothing else.
They can’t access unrelated topics or teams, but they can fully collaborate within the team they’ve been invited to. It’s secure, focused, and built for real-world collaboration.

Topics: Keep the Conversation Focused

Topics are where the real action happens inside a team. Each topic is like a dedicated channel for a specific conversation, task, or mini-project.
Files, messages, links, and media shared in a topic are neatly stored and always accessible—even if you switch devices. No need to dig through chats to find that file someone sent days ago!

Why Topics Rock:

• Keep each discussion separate and organized
• Avoid cluttered group chats
• Share files, links, and notes that stay attached to the conversation
• Stay on track by focusing only on what matters

Every team needs at least one topic—you can’t have a team without one! When you create a new team, you’ll be prompted to start with a topic to get the conversation going.
