Search Chats by Proposal Role in Pasaj
In Pasaj, every swap conversation starts with a proposal. Depending on who initiated the proposal, your role in that chat will be either Proposer or Owner.
If you want to see only chats where you sent a proposal, or only chats where you received one, you can use the Role filter inside Chats.
This helps you focus on specific conversations, especially when you are actively trying to swap books nearby or exchange books nearby with multiple users.
What Is the Role Filter?
The Role filter allows you to display chats based on your role in the proposal:
- Proposer: You sent the proposal to another user.
- Owner: Another user sent a proposal to one of your books.
This filter makes it easier to manage ongoing book exchange discussions and track your activity clearly.
