Arattai Web focuses on productivity and seamless syncing between devices. The most useful Web features:
- Full chat sync — read and send messages from your browser with near-real-time sync.
- Audio & video calls from desktop — start or join calls directly in the browser (no phone needed).

3. Beginner: install, login & first chat (step-by-step)
- Open the Arattai Web page at the official downloads URL: https://www.arattai.in/download.html. Choose Web or the desktop installer for Windows/Mac/Linux. Zoho
- Sign in / Verify: The Web client will ask you to verify via OTP on your phone (same number you used to register). This links the Web session to your mobile account.
- Sync messages: After verification, recent chats sync to the Web client. Send a test message to confirm.
- Test calls & mic/camera: Click the call icon to test audio and video from your computer. Grant permissions when prompted.
- Set notification preferences: Go to Settings → Notifications to enable desktop alerts and sound.
Tip: If you plan to use Arattai Web for work, install the desktop app (native) for better performance and background notifications.
4. Intermediate: multi-device, media, groups, and settings
- Multi-device usage: Arattai’s Web client supports simultaneous sessions (phone + web + desktop). Make sure to wait for the initial sync to finish before logging out of other devices to avoid missing messages.
- Media handling: Drag files into any chat to upload. For heavy media, consider compressing images or using cloud links.
- Group admin tools: Create groups, add/remove members, and pin important messages or media for quick team reference. Use channels for broadcast-style announcements.
- Search & archive: Use the search box to find messages, files, and links shared previously. Archive inactive chats to declutter the left rail.
- Accessibility & shortcuts: Learn keyboard shortcuts (open settings/help) to speed up navigation in the Web client.
5. Expert: Zoho integrations, automation & admin tips
This is where Arattai Web becomes a business tool:
- Zoho Flow integrations: Connect Arattai with hundreds of apps (CRM, Desk, Mail, Sheets) using Zoho Flow to automate workflows — e.g., push a CRM lead notification to a sales channel or send ticket alerts from Zoho Desk into an Arattai team chat. See the Arattai integration gallery on Zoho Flow to get started.
- Notifications & bots: Use Flow to build simple bots: auto-post incoming leads, status updates, or scheduled reminders to Arattai channels.
- Enterprise rollouts: For company-wide deployments, pilot Arattai Web with a small team, document configuration (permissions, retention, and admin roles), and create a migration plan for data and contacts.
- API & custom automation: If deeper integration is needed, combine Flow with custom scripts or webhooks to push events from internal systems to Arattai channels — useful for DevOps alerts, HR onboarding messages, or alerts from monitoring tools.
Pro tip: Maintain a central channel for system alerts and one for human conversation to keep operational messages visible and not lost in chat noise.
6. Security, backups & migration notes
- Permissions & privacy: Arattai Web requires access to mic/camera for calls; grant these per session. Review privacy settings in the app and restrict profile visibility if needed. Refer to Arattai’s FAQ for permission details.
- E2EE & roadmap: Zoho has committed to improving privacy and rolling out stronger encryption features; check official updates for the latest on end-to-end encryption timelines. (Keep an eye on Arattai’s announcements if security is a primary concern.)
- Migration: Arattai supports per-chat import from platforms like WhatsApp via their export flow (useful when migrating important conversations). Test one chat first before migrating in bulk.
