Direct Messaging on Swarm is limited to client-builder interactions (for now).

You can check your DMs through the envelope icon on the main nav bar.

How do I use DMs?

As a Builder

Swarm DMs is where clients will get to know and compare all their potential builders. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Apply for a project on Bzzaar by clicking “connect with client”

2. Pick the role you want and introduce yourself in the short pop-up form.

3. Swarm will review your application before sending it to the client via DM. Note: Only builders with complete profiles will be approved.

4. Through the DMs clients will be able to see a preview of your profile with your Bio and Reputation Points. They can also choose to view your full profile to check out your past works and project preferences to see if you’re a perfect fit for them.

5. If they decide you’re the one, they can hire you directly from the DMs.

6. An email will be sent to you informing you of your successful application and the next steps you have to accomplish.

7. While working on the project you’ll be free to use the DMs to discuss and ideate with the client and book a call through our Calendly integration.
