## Wildcard mentions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, wildcard mentions (`@**all**`, `@**everyone**`) trigger
|
|
|
|
|
email/push notifications as though they were personal @-mentions. You
|
2022-03-22 18:13:30 +01:00
|
|
|
can toggle whether you receive notifications for wildcard mentions.
|

Unlike personal mentions, wildcard mentions do not trigger notifications
|
|
|
|
|
in muted streams.

|
|
|
streams in your [Stream settings](/help/stream-notifications), and

|
|
|
|
|
mentions](/help/restrict-wildcard-mentions) in large streams.
