Accessing Team Conversations
We currently offer Team Conversations to our leagues as a service upgrade. If your league has subscribed to the Team Conversations feature, all of your league's are part of the inLeague Pro premium subscription. All leagues receive inLeague Pro at no cost through the end of 2016. All inLeague users may access Team Conversations. (TODO: screenshot mobile) (TODO: screenshot webpage) (TODO: what about menu link for website?) Conversations are sorted in order of most recently updated.

When the user saves the conversation, inLeague will alert the recipients about the new message as soon as possible. Users who have installed the inLeague Mobile app (and used it to log - in at least once) will receive a push notification on their mobile device. (TODO: screenshot) In most cases, the push notifications are received almost immediately after the author saves the message, but rarely some alerts are delayed by a few minutes may be delayed depending on network conditions within Google and Apple push notification networks. Message recipients can use their push notification alert to open the conversation in inLeague Mobile.

In addition to sending instant push notifications to mobile devices, inLeague will scan the database of team conversations every twenty minutes in order to notify users by email of any unseen messages in their conversations. The email will contain the text and details of every unseen message in the conversation and a link to their inLeague Team Conversations webpage. Our system inLeague waits for a ten-minute lull in the conversation before sending an email update.
Replying to Messages
Only those people who were originally included as recipients the original recipients of a message may reply to a conversation; new recipients cannot be added after the factlater within a conversation. When the conversation author saves a new message to the conversation, all the recipients will instantly be sent another push notification. On the other handWhen a recipient other than the author replies, only the conversation author will receive a push notification when one of the recipients replies to the conversationnotification.
Private Reply
When more than two people are participating in the same conversation, every reply is visible to each person. However, a user may mark his or her reply message as a "private" reply. In this case, the system will start a new conversation between only that user and the person who originally started the conversation. Note that the new conversation will have lost the messages that preceded the private reply and that its two participants are still included in the earlier conversation.
