Mentioning a Colleague

What you'll do

Tag a colleague in a comment or task description so they're notified and the message is highlighted for them.

Before you start

You need to be a Member of the Space where you're mentioning someone, and that colleague must also be a Member of the same Space.

Steps

1. Open a task or record with comments.
2. Click in the comment or description field.
3. Type @ to start a mention.
4. A list of colleagues appears.
5. Start typing their name to filter the list.
6. Click their name to insert the mention.
7. Finish typing your message.
8. Click Post or Send.

The mentioned colleague will:

• See the comment highlighted
• Receive a notification with a link to the task
• See your message in their task or notification feed

What happens next

If your organization has email notifications enabled, the mentioned person receives an email with your comment and can reply to post a comment back. Otherwise, they see the mention in the Hub interface.
