What's included
Group and direct messages
Send messages to your whole band at once or chat with individual members privately — both from the same inbox.
Alongside your band tools
Messages live in the same dashboard as your setlists, tasks, gig schedule and stage plot — one place for everything.
No separate app required
Dashplan runs in any browser on any device. Band members join free and can message without downloading anything.
Band communication belongs with your band tools
Band coordination today happens across three or four different apps. The setlist is in one tool, the gig schedule is in another, the stage plot gets emailed as a PDF, and the communication about all of it is buried in a WhatsApp group alongside photos from the weekend and memes from the guitarist.
Keeping messaging separate from your band's working tools means context is always scattered. You're switching between apps to check what was decided about the setlist, whether someone confirmed the rehearsal time, or what the venue address was for Saturday's show.
Dashplan's messaging brings band communication into the same place as everything else. Group chat with the full band, or message individual members directly — without leaving the dashboard where the setlist, task list and gig schedule already live. The conversation about Saturday's show is next to Saturday's show.
For direct messages, this is especially useful when you need to check something with your drummer without broadcasting it to the group, or when a band member has a question about their part that doesn't need to go to everyone.
Because Dashplan is used for setlists, stage plots, tasks and gig bookings, band members already have a reason to open it regularly. When messaging is built in, it becomes the natural channel for band communication — not another app added to an already crowded home screen.

What is a band messaging app?+
A band messaging app is a communication tool designed for musicians — allowing group chats with the full band and direct messages to individual members. Dashplan includes messaging as part of a broader band management platform.
Can I message individual band members or just the whole group?+
Both. Dashplan supports group chat with your full band and direct messages to individual members — all from the same inbox in the dashboard.
Why use a dedicated band messaging app instead of WhatsApp?+
WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are general communication tools. Dashplan's messaging is built into your band's working environment — so conversations are next to the setlists, task lists and gig schedules they're about, rather than buried in a general group chat.
Do band members need to download an app?+
No. Dashplan runs in any browser on any device. Band members join your band via email invitation and can access messages without downloading anything.
Is messaging included in the standard Dashplan subscription?+
Yes. Messaging is included in the Dashplan subscription alongside all other tools — setlist manager, gig log, stage plot builder, tasks and more.
Can band members join and message for free?+
Yes. Band members are invited by the band leader and join free. They can access messages, view the setlist and check upcoming shows without a paid subscription.
Is the messaging private between band members?+
Yes. Your band's messages are private to the members of your band. Direct messages are visible only to the sender and recipient.
Does Dashplan have notifications for new messages?+
Yes. Members receive notifications when new messages arrive, so nothing gets missed without having to check the app constantly.
