Use @mentions in tasks, Chats, and Docs to bring your teammates' attention to items.

Chats can only be accessed when the Chat ClickApp is enabled. When the Chat ClickApp is enabled, Chat view is no longer displayed.

Use @mentions

You can @mention a person, task, Doc, or location in task descriptions, task comments, Chats, private messages, or when replying to a comment from Inbox.

When you @mention a person in a task the following happens:

  • When they're mentioned in a task comment, they become a watcher of that task.
  • When they're mentioned in a task description, they will not be added as a watcher. 
  • When they're mentioned in a task description, they will receive a notification. 
  • The comment they're mentioned in is highlighted in the task.
  • Their names are highlighted in their Inbox. 
  • When you mention a person in a comment on a private task, you have the option to share that task.

To @mention a person: 

  1. Type @ and a person or Team's initials.
    • You can also type @ to display the person selector.  
  2. Choose the person or Team. You can @mention all assignees or watchers using @watchers or @assignee.
    • Names are prioritized by how often you tag them.
