When having a conversation in Zulip, it is sometimes necessary to call the
|
|
|
|
|
attention of another member. You can @-mention (alert) other users by
|
|
|
|
|
mentioning them in the body of a message.

Please note that you cannot @-mention users when you edit a message, since
|
|
|
|
|
they may have already read the message.

1. Compose a [new message or reply](/help/reply-to-a-message).
|
|
|
|
|
2. In the **Compose your message here...** field, type `@` followed by the
|
|
|
|
|
email address or part of the username of the user you want to @-mention.
|
|
|
|

When you begin typing an email address or username, autocomplete suggestions
|
|
|
|
|
will appear.

Once you select an autocomplete suggestion, the name or email address of
|

the user will be replaced with `@**name**` where `name` is the name of the

selected user.

|
If you attempt to @-mention someone who is not subscribed to the
|
|
|
|
|
stream in which you're posting the message, Zulip will ask if you
|
|
|
|
|
would like to subscribe the user to the stream.
