Comments and Mentions
What it is
Comments are notes and messages on tasks and other records. Mentions are a way to tag a specific person using @name so they're notified and the comment is highlighted for them.
When to use it
Leave a comment whenever you want to discuss a task, ask a question, update others on progress, or share information. Use mentions to get someone's specific attention.
Where to find it
Comments appear on every task and many records. Look for a "Comments" section or a comment field. Type @ to start a mention.
How it works
Leaving a comment:
- Open a task or record.
- Find the Comments section.
- Click in the comment field and type your message.
- You can use markdown: bold, italic,
code, lists, links. - Click Post or Send.
Mentioning someone:
- Type
@in a comment field. - A list of people appears.
- Type their name to filter the list.
- Click their name to mention them.
- They'll get a notification with a link to the comment.
The mentioned person will see the comment highlighted in their notification and when they view the task.
Email replies:
If your organization has email notifications enabled, you can reply to a task notification email and your reply will post as a comment on the task automatically.
