As a SeaTalk admin, you can create a department in the Admin Center. This also allows you to create a chat group, accessed on the SeaTalk mobile app, for employees in a department.
This department chat group will automatically be synced to the employees in the department as per the SeaTalk admin center. Any employees added to the department will automatically be added to the chat group, and vice versa.
