Chat & Conversations
Messaging lets you talk privately with experts, with people you're buying from or selling to, and with the Zorrooo team — all in one place.
How messaging works
Every conversation is a private one-to-one thread. You'll find all of yours under Conversations, sorted with the most recent activity on top. Open a thread to read its history and reply.
There are a few kinds of conversation, depending on how they started:
- Direct — a normal chat with another member.
- Complaint — the thread that opens when you discuss a posted complaint with an expert who can help.
- Order — the thread tied to a specific order, between buyer and seller.
- Dispute — opened when there's a disagreement on an order.
- Support — your private line to the Zorrooo team (you'll get a welcome message here when you join).
Talking with experts
When you start talking with an expert about a complaint, a dedicated thread is created so everything about that matter stays together.
- Open the complaint or the expert's profile and start the conversation.
- Type your message and send it — the expert is notified.
- As the discussion turns into a contract and then an order, the same conversation keeps the full history.
:::note Stay on the platform For your protection, keep the discussion inside Zorrooo. Contact details such as phone numbers may be hidden automatically, and sharing them can trigger a reminder from us. :::
Sending a message
- Open a conversation.
- Type your message in the box at the bottom.
- Add an attachment if you need to (see below).
- Send. The other person gets an in-app notification, and an email if they're away.
Messages are delivered in real time — you'll see new replies appear without refreshing.
Attachments
You can attach files (documents, images, proof) to a message:
- Click the attachment icon in the message box.
- Choose your file.
- Send it with your message — it appears in the thread.
All files shared in a conversation are also collected in the Files panel, so you can find them later without scrolling back through the whole thread.
The side panel
Each conversation has a side panel with three views:
- Profile — who you're talking to. For experts, you'll also see whether they're online and some of their stats.
- Files — every attachment exchanged in this conversation, in one list.
- History — a timeline of key moments: when the complaint was created, when the conversation started, and each step of any resulting order (created, accepted, delivered, completed, and so on).
Read status and notifications
- Messages are marked as read once the other person opens the conversation.
- You're notified in the app when a new message arrives, and by email if you haven't seen it.
Good to know
- Conversations stay available even after a complaint is resolved or an order is finished, so you always keep the record.
- Order conversations close to new messages once the order is completed or cancelled.
- Automated welcome and safety messages may appear from the Zorrooo team — these are part of keeping the platform safe.
