What exactly are you looking for? A replacement messenger or something that allows communication with those messengers?

    Threema sadly blocks api access behind a paywall and community interest isn't high enough to have resulted in a workaround using the regular client access.

    As for the main request, it is probably a bad idea to move to messengers as the primary communication tool. I would rather suggest to look into a tool like Loomio that has nice notification options to link the decision making process to various chat apps.

    What about something xmpp-based like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket?

    @sihaha @selfhosted There are a lot of integrations it seems. Internet sais, getting the integrations work seems really difficult and is sometimes bad documented.At least it is on my list for further investigating beside zammad.Thanks, I forgot about them.

    XMPP with slidge is what you are looking for.

    Mov.im ? A web frontend for xmpp. Though it's not hostable via docker (there is one but not for production).

    I'm not sure it will 100% suit your use case but definitely a solid choice.

    If they're already using Signal, why not use that, instead of trying to get them to install and set up yet another app?
