Co-Creation
Say hello to a match
Open a conversation with your suggested co-creators, bring the idea into it, and keep talking in your Soul inbox.
Say Hello opens a private conversation between you and the people Soul suggested for an idea, and puts the idea in it so you can all open it from there.
When to use this
- An idea looks promising and you'd like to talk it through.
- You want to see if the other person is interested before planning anything.
Say hello
Open the idea
In Matches, click Why This Fits on the card, then Get Details.
Click Say Hello
It's in the side panel under Co-creator suggestions. The Say hello to … window opens: "This opens a conversation with Maya and brings this idea into it. You can both open the idea from the conversation afterwards."
Write your first message
Type in Your first message, or start from one of the Ways To Begin: Warm hello, Why you, Find a time or Keep it short. Up to 2,000 characters.
Send
Click Send & open conversation. The conversation opens in your Soul inbox with the idea attached.
What they receive
- An email that you reached out ("… reached out to you"), quoting your message and the idea, with Open the conversation. If they've already had an email from Co-Creation in the last day, yours is bundled into a short digest instead.
- The conversation in their Soul inbox, with the idea as a card: "Co-creation idea", its title and who's on it. They can open the full idea from there.
- The idea's page from their side, showing "Who shared this idea".
Keep the conversation going
Co-Creation conversations live in the same inbox as your other messages, on your Soul home. See Messages.
- The header reads "Co-creation space · 2 people". Library shows every idea shared in the conversation.
- In your dashboard's message list, these threads carry a Co-creation badge.
- Bring another idea into the same conversation by saying hello from that idea. The same group always gets the same conversation.
- When new messages arrive and you're away, Soul emails a short summary a few minutes after the last one.
Who Say Hello reaches
- Only suggested co-creators who are already on Soul. If nobody suggested has joined, Say Hello isn't shown. Use Reach out to email them the idea instead: see Invite someone to an idea.
- Only the idea's owner can say hello from it. If an idea was shared with you, use Continue the conversation.
- Already said hello? The button becomes Open conversation: "You shared this with Maya on … It is in your conversation."
Tips
- Say why them. "Your work is why this came to mind" gets more replies than a generic hello.
- Suggest a next step: a 30-minute call this week.
- Don't wait for the whole write-up. You can say hello while Soul is still writing the details.
