Chat with AI is the management entry point for asking community-specific questions, reviewing policy context, and finding source-backed answers without digging through documents.
Ask With Context
Ask about rules, governing documents, upcoming meetings, forms, notices, and resident-facing guidance for the active community.
Use Answers Operationally
Turn AI responses into faster resident replies, draft reminders, or follow-up tasks while still reviewing source context before acting.

💬 Communication is Key
Regular updates keep residents informed and engaged. Use announcements and the forum to share news.
📊 Data-Driven Decisions
Use the analytics and reports to make informed decisions about community improvements and budgets.
🤝 Encourage Participation
Active residents make stronger communities. Promote voting, events, and forum discussions.
⚡ Streamline Processes
Use digital forms and automated processes to reduce administrative burden and improve efficiency.
Access & Permissions Matrix 🔐
Understanding who can do what in your community
Role-Based Access Control
HeyNeighbor uses a sophisticated permission system to ensure the right people have access to the right features. Each role is carefully designed to balance responsibility with capability.
Admin
Full System Control
Manager
Operations Management
Board Member
Governance & Oversight
Committee
Specialized Groups
Resident
Community Members
Service Provider
Vendors & Contractors
Important Notes About Permissions
Security First
All roles are designed with security in mind. Sensitive financial and personal data is restricted to authorized users only.
Customizable
Admins can customize certain permissions for each role to fit your community's unique needs and governance structure.
Document Permissions
Management can set document and document category/folder permission and restriction using both user role types or by assigning access to specific users.
Notices Permissions
Admins and managers can publish notices. Board and committee members can be enabled to access Notices, save shared drafts, and submit drafts for management review from Settings → Roles & Permissions → Notices.
Roles & Permission Settings ⚙️
How to use the live role-permission controls without giving away full management authority.
What this settings tab is for
The Access & Permissions matrix explains each role at a high level. The Roles & Permissions settings tab is more specific: it lets admins and managers decide which non-management roles can participate in approval-based workflows. This is useful when a board, committee, or resident group should help draft, submit, or review work without receiving final publishing authority.
Where to find it
Open Settings → Roles & Permissions. Admins and managers can make changes. Board and committee members can view the tab in read-only mode so they understand what access their role has.
Always-on rows
Admin and manager rows are intentionally locked on for management-owned actions. Those disabled switches are guardrails: publishing, approving, and final review stay with the people responsible for community operations.
Auto-save behavior
Permission changes auto-save. When a switch is off, the related create, upload, or submit action is hidden from that role and the server rejects direct attempts.
Current permission sections
Community Hub
Controls who can submit Community Hub posts and events for approval, and who can post without needing approval. Keep direct posting limited; approval keeps public community content consistent and reviewable.
Documents
Controls who can upload documents for management approval. Board and committee access is off by default. Enabled uploads stay pending until an admin or manager approves them.
Votes
Controls who can create a vote and submit it for approval. Admins and managers can publish directly; board and committee access is off by default unless your community enables it.
Notices
Controls who can access the Notices tab, save shared drafts, and submit a notice to management for review. Publishing notices remains limited to admins and managers.
Forms
Controls who can view all form submissions under the Submissions tab on the Forms page. Use this when board or committee members need oversight of submitted forms without changing broader management authority.
Approval workflow guidance
- • Use approval-based permissions when a role should help prepare work but management should still make the final decision.
- • Submitting for review creates an approval request for admins and managers in the notification hub.
- • Saving a draft is collaborative and quiet; it does not notify management until someone submits it for review.
- • Not every role appears in every section. The menu only shows roles that make sense for that workflow.
Community Communication Overview 📢
📱 Web App Required for Management Features
All communication and content creation features are accessed from the web app. The mobile app is resident-focused and lacks management capabilities.

👥 Group Chats

🤖 AI Chat Tools

📬 Management Inbox

Community Hub Updates & Events 📰
The Community Hub is your community's newsfeed. You can post two types of content here: Updates (general announcements, news, and information) and Events (community activities with dates, times, and RSVP). Both types live on the newsfeed and are automatically included in the Daily Digest emailthat goes out at the end of each day, so even residents who don't check the app daily will stay informed.
How to Post
- 1. Go to the Community Hub page
- 2. Click "New Post" to create an Update, or go to the Events tab to create an Event
- 3. Write your title and description and use the AI writing assistant when helpful

🤖 AI Writing Help: Provide a few key points and let the AI draft a polished title and description.
📧 Daily Digest: Updates and Events posted to the Community Hub are automatically bundled into the Daily Digest email that goes out at the end of each day.
Forum Moderation 💬
The Forum is the resident discussion area for recommendations, questions, marketplace posts, and neighbor-to-neighbor conversations. Management can use it to watch community sentiment, answer common questions, and moderate content when needed.
Management Uses
- • Monitor resident questions and recurring concerns
- • Clarify policies without turning every topic into an official notice
- • Encourage constructive discussion and neighbor recommendations
Moderation Flow
- 1. Open Forum from the sidebar
- 2. Review categories, comments, and flagged activity
- 3. Reply, redirect, or moderate based on community policy
2-click checklist
1) Open the active discussion. 2) Reply with guidance or moderate according to policy.
Community Notices 📋
Community Notices are official communications from the boardthat get sent as both emails and in-app messages to a selected group of users, or to all users at once. Unlike Community Hub posts, notices are direct, targeted correspondence and arrive in each recipient's message inbox on both web and mobile apps.
How to Send
- 1. Go to the Notices page
- 2. Click "Create Notice"
- 3. Choose a notice type: General, Emergency, or Violation
- 4. Select your audience — all users, specific households, or by role
- 5. Choose delivery timing and write the notice
- 6. Click Publish to send
Delivery Options
- • ⚡ Send Immediately — For urgent, time-sensitive notices
- • 📅 Schedule Delivery — Send mandatory notices at a selected future time
- • 📱 In-App Messages — Always delivered to recipients' inboxes regardless of email preference
Mandatory Notices
Every notice is mandatory. Notices are delivered even to recipients who have notifications turned off, or who haven't yet joined the platform. Use notices for critical communications that every recipient must see.
Drafts, Review, and Role Access
For users with Notices access
- • Save Draft keeps the notice as a shared draft so other users with Notices access can collaborate.
- • Submit for Review sends the draft into the Notices list for admins and managers to review.
- • Drafts are not delivered to residents until an admin or manager publishes them.
Who can publish
- • Admins and Managers always have Notices access and can publish notices.
- • Board Members and Committee Members can be granted Notices access from Settings.
- • Residents are not configurable for Notices draft access.
Immediate or scheduled
In-App Message
Always delivered to inbox
Mandatory
Reaches everyone, even opted-out
📂 Notice History: A complete history of all notices that have been sent is available on the Notices page for reference, record-keeping, and read tracking.
Group Chats 👥
You can create group chats for your various board and committee groups so the right people can coordinate in one place. Group chats are created from the Messages page by starting a new conversation and selecting the members to include.
Examples
- • 🏛️ Board Members Chat — Discuss governance matters privately
- • 🏗️ Architectural Committee — Review applications together
- • 🎉 Social Committee — Plan events and activities
- • 🌳 Landscaping Committee — Coordinate maintenance
- • 💰 Finance Committee — Budget discussions
💡 Tip: Group chats keep internal discussions organized and separate from resident-facing communications. You can still send direct messages to individual users when needed.
AI Chat Tools 🤖
Leverage AI Chat features to provide residents with instant, accurate answers about community topics. Seed the experience with recurring questions and supporting documents so answers stay aligned with your policies.
Quick Chat Topics
Post topics you want residents to be mindful of:
- • 🔥 Brush clearance requirements
- • 🚗 Parking reminders
- • 🐕 Pet policy updates
- • 🏊 Pool and amenity hours
Upload Supporting Documents
Give the AI coached answers by uploading:
- • 📄 FAQ documents
- • 📋 Committee guidelines
- • 📝 Policy updates
- • 📚 Living documents that grow over time
💡 Pro Tip:Committees can create living documents with answers and advice that expand over time. Upload these to supplement or replace older FAQ content in the AI's knowledge base.
Management Inbox 📬
The Management Inbox allows residents to message the board or management team without choosing a specific person. Any manager can respond from this shared inbox.

Guest List & Concierge Operations 🚪
Control Entry Flow with Real-Time Visibility
Guest List gives your front desk and guard team a single workflow for expected arrivals, check-ins, denials, and recurring access.
Who gets full controls:
- • Admins and Managers (automatic full access)
- • Users marked as Guest List Guard
- • Board members and standard users do not get full controls unless explicitly designated as guard
Daily operations
- • Use the date selector to move forward/back by day
- • Review expected, checked-in, and on-site totals
- • Check guests in with party size + optional plate/ID details
- • Check guests out when they leave
- • Use Check Back In if someone returns after checkout
Risk controls
- • Deny entry with a required reason for audit history
- • Hover denied status to view reason quickly
- • Use Undo Denied when a denial was entered by mistake
- • Maintain blacklist entries to block known individuals
- • Guest/recurring adds are automatically checked against blacklist
Recommended setup for front desk teams
Create guard house and concierge users as Service Provider role and enable Guest List Guard. This gives full guest-list operations while keeping access appropriately limited across the rest of the platform.
- 1. Go to Users & Units and add user
- 2. Set role to Service Provider
- 3. Enable Concierge / Guard Access for Guest List
- 4. Assign status and household/unit details as needed
Operations tip
Ask residents to add guests with the correct expected day and arrival time. This keeps guard operations faster and reduces calls at busy entry periods.
Forms 📝
Submit Requests the Easy Way! 🚀
No more paper forms or wondering if your request was received! Submit everything online and track the status.

- • Submit complaints
✅ Benefits

How It Works:
- 1️⃣ Go to "Forms" in the sidebar

- 5️⃣ Track progress in your dashboard
Manage Forms & Fields 🛠️
Administrators can create, edit, and manage form templates to streamline community processes and ensure consistent data collection.
Create a New Form Template
Build a custom form your residents can submit — maintenance requests, architectural change applications, complaints, feedback, and more. Templates are reusable and keep submissions consistent so nothing slips through the cracks.
- 1️⃣ Go to Forms in the sidebar
- 2️⃣ Open the 🎛️ Manage Forms tab (visible to management and committee roles)
- 3️⃣ Click the Create Template button in the top-right
- 4️⃣ Fill out template information and form fields
- 5️⃣ Click Create Template to publish it to the community
💡 Don't see the Manage Forms tab? Your role needs management or committee access. Ask a community admin to grant you the right permissions.
📋 Step 1: Template Information
Give your form a clear identity so residents know what it's for and you can find it later.
- • Template Name (required) — short and specific, like "Architectural Change Request" or "Pool Key Replacement." Click AI the Title for an AI-suggested title.
- • Description (required) — 1 to 3 sentences telling residents when and why to use the form. Click AI this Description to generate one from the title.
- • Category (required) — pick one of: 🏗️ Architectural, 🔧 Maintenance, ⚠️ Complaint, 📋 Request, or 💬 Feedback.
Example: an "Exterior Paint Color Approval" template in the Architectural category.
Step 2: Form Fields
Add the questions residents will answer. You can build fields one at a time, or use the AI Generate Form Fields button to get a starter list based on your title, description, and category.
For each field you add:
- • Enter a Field Label (what residents see above the input)
- • Pick a Field Type from the dropdown
- • Optionally add Placeholder Text as a hint inside the input
- • Check Required Field if residents must answer it
- • Use the ⬆️ / ⬇️ arrows to reorder fields, or the 🗑️ trash icon to remove one
Available field types:
- • Dropdown, Radio, or Multiple Checkboxes — add the list of choices residents can select. At least one option is required.
- • Property Selector — residents see their own property by default. Enable "Show all community properties" if they need to reference a different unit.
- • File Upload — ideal for photos of damage, architectural drawings, or supporting documents.
- • Map Pin Location — residents can mark an exact spot, such as a pothole, broken light, or irrigation leak.
Example: three configured fields — a text input, a long-text field, and a file upload.
Publish & Notifications 🚀
Publish & Manage
- • Click Create Template to save. It becomes available to the entire community immediately.
- • Not ready to go live? You can disable the template from the Manage Forms list and enable it later without losing your work.
- • Need to tweak it? Click the template in the Manage Forms list to edit the name, description, category, or fields at any time.
- • The usage count next to each template shows how many residents have submitted it.
Click Create Template to publish — the form becomes immediately available to residents.
Assign Form Notifications
You can assign users to be notified whenever a specific form is submitted. Go to Forms > Manage Forms > Assign Notification, choose the user or users you want notified, and save.
How Delivery Works
- • New submissions: Assigned users receive an in-app notification that opens the submitted form. Assigned users with email addresses also receive a form submission email.
- • No assigned users: The form is still submitted and visible in Forms, but no submission notification or submission email is sent.
- • Resident comments or attachments after submission: Assigned users receive a Form Comment notification in the Notification Center, plus a mobile push notification if they have form activity push alerts enabled.
- • Management or committee comments: The original submitter receives the Form Comment notification and eligible mobile push alert. Comment activity does not send email.
