Use @mentions to get your teammates' attention or to share items.

Use @mentions

You can @mention people, locations, Super Agents, and more in most places in ClickUp where text is accepted. For example, in AI prompt fields, task descriptions, comments, Channels, direct messages, Notepad, and when replying to a comment from Inbox.

You can @mention the following:

• Tasks
• Docs
  • Once a task or Doc is archived, you won't be able to mention it.
• Super Agents
• Cursor agents
• People
• Teams
• Spaces, Folders, and Lists
• Channels
• Whiteboards
• Clips
• Files from connected apps that support Connected Search

Filter @mentions by type

To filter @mentions by type, type @, then select one of the tabs at the top of the menu.

@mentioning Super Agents

@mention a Super Agent in comments, Chat Channels, and Brain. The Mention trigger must be activated in Super Agent's profile.

They'll respond in a threaded reply, following their instructions, and using their assigned tools and available knowledge.

To view information about the Super Agent or start chatting with it, hover over the @mention and select Chat or View profile.

@mentioning Brain

Ask ClickUp Brain a question, or provide instructions, just like another team member!

@mentioning Cursor agents

Save time by delegating issues and features to Cursor for execution.

@mentioning people

There are several ways to @mention people:

• Type @, followed by a person or Team's initials.
  • Only show people in the results by clicking the People tab.
• Type @assignees to @mention all assignees.
• Type @followers to @mention all Followers.
• If you're in a Channel, you can use @everyone or @followers to notify all Followers.
  • You cannot use @everyone or @followers in thread replies or in Channels with 500 or more Followers.
  • People who are @mentioned this way will not become Followers of the thread unless they reply or manually choose to follow it.

Depending on your notification settings, you can receive Inbox notifications when you're @mentioned in a comment, task description, or Doc.

When you're @mentioned in Chat, you'll see a red badge next to the Channel or direct message. Chat messages you're @mentioned in can be accessed from the Chat Activity page.

@mentioning people in a task

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

• When they're mentioned in a task comment, they become a follower of that task.
• When they're mentioned in a task description, they will not be added as a follower.
• 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.
• You can mention people who don't have access to a task. You can set their permission level and invite them to the task. If you choose not to give someone access to the task, they won't be notified that they were mentioned.

Take a look at our assigned comments article to learn how to assign small action items.

@mentioning people in a Doc

You can't mention others in Docs unless the Doc has been shared with them.
