This module allows a user to manage multiple conversation threads with different users. A user can click into one of the threads and send or view messages/attachments.
When this module is added to a page, it has a reusable element inside called chatwidget. This reusable element contains all of the logic and UI for the module.
The module comes with two data types:
t-Thread will store the threads between users
t-Message will store the messages and attachments in each thread
All of the threads are displayed in RepeatingGroup t-Thread
All of the messages are displayed in RepeatingGroup t-Message
Button SEND sends a new message and Button SEND ATTACHMENT in Popup Upload sends an attachment

Open Popup Hidden Variables. This popup contains three group variables that are used in the chat widget. For more information on how to use Popup Hidden Variables, click here.
var - Website object stores the app's website object. It is used in Button Search for t-Message to pull the website's primary color.
var - chat thread stores the thread that the user is viewing.
var - user viewing chat stores the user information (current user who is viewing the thread and messages).
[OPTIONAL] Modify the data source of var - user viewing chat to include any filters you need for the user that is viewing the thread
This chat widget comes with two messenger styles:
iMessage Style
Slack Style
By default, the chat widget uses the iMessage style. You can switch to a different style by opening the chatwidget reusable element, hiding Group M-iMessage, and showing Group M-Slack
