Sharing Chats

Had a conversation worth showing someone? You can share any chat as a web page — and choose who gets to open it: anyone with the link, everybody in your organization, or a specific list of people.

How to Share

• On the web — Open the conversation and click Share in the chat header. Pick who can view (below), then click Share link — the link is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.
• In the mobile app — Open the conversation, tap the menu in the chat header, and choose Share chat. Pick who can view, then your phone’s share sheet opens so you can send the link through any app.

The link looks like app.fastquery.ai/s/... and opens on any device, including phones.

Who Can View

• Anyone with the link — The page opens for anyone, no account or sign-in needed. Treat the link like a forwarded email: you can’t control who it gets passed to.
• Anyone in your organization — Viewers sign in with their FastQuery account; only members of your organization can open the page.
• Specific people — You list email addresses. Viewers prove the email is theirs by signing in with it (Google, Microsoft, Apple, or Yahoo sign-in, or a one-time code sent to that address) — they don’t need a FastQuery account.

Someone who opens a restricted link without access sees a sign-in prompt, or an offer to switch accounts if they’re signed in with the wrong one.

What Viewers See

The page shows the conversation as it looked when you shared it — your questions and the AI’s answers, with the same rich formatting you see in the app:

• Product, task, teammate, facility, and post cards render as read-only cards.
• Images appear inline.
• Tables and spreadsheets the AI produced render as tables.
• Documents the AI wrote render as document cards.

Unlike cards inside the app, which always show live data, a shared page is a snapshot. Stock levels, task progress, and other details are frozen at the moment you shared — they don’t update as things change in your store.

When you paste an Anyone with the link share into a messaging app or social platform, it unfurls with a preview card showing the chat’s name. Restricted shares unfurl with a generic FastQuery card instead, so the chat’s name stays private.

Keeping a Shared Link Up to Date

Sharing the same chat again refreshes the snapshot without changing the URL — and you can change who can view at the same time. If the conversation continued or the data moved on, just share it again; everyone with access sees the updated version.

Stop Sharing

Open the share dialog again and choose Stop sharing. The link stops working immediately — visitors see a “no longer available” page. If you change your mind, sharing the chat again brings back the same link — unless the link has already expired (see below), in which case you get a new one.

Privacy and Expiry

• Only what you can see gets shared. Cards and files are included based on your own access at the moment of sharing.
• Files get extra care. Images and reasonably sized spreadsheets are included for everyone; other attached files (like PDFs) are included only when the sharer is an admin or manager. When you share with Anyone with the link and the chat references files other than images, the app warns you before creating the link so nothing becomes public by surprise. On restricted shares, included files are served only to permitted viewers. Anything that isn’t included shows up as just a file name.
• Links expire automatically six months after the last time you shared the chat. After that, visitors see the same “no longer available” page.
