# Mention a user or group
|
|
|
|
You can mention a team member or [user group](/help/user-groups) to call their attention to a
|
|
message. Mentions follow the same
|
|
[notification settings](/help/pm-mention-alert-notifications) as private
|
|
messages and alert words.
|
|
|
|
## Mention a user or group
|
|
|
|
### From the compose box
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Type `@` followed by a few letters from a name or email address.
|
|
|
|
3. Pick the appropriate user or user group from the autocomplete.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### From the user list
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!right-sidebar-user-card.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Copy mention syntax** to add it to your clipboard.
|
|
|
|
1. Paste the user's mention syntax in the compose box.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Via a message
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. Click on a user's profile picture or name on a message they sent
|
|
to open their **user card**.
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Reply mentioning user** to start a reply to the conversation
|
|
with a mention inserted into the compose box.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Silently mention a user
|
|
|
|
A silent mention allows you to refer to a user without triggering a
|
|
notification. Silent mentions start with `@_` instead of `@`.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
2. Type `@_` followed by a few letters from a name or email address.
|
|
|
|
3. Pick the appropriate user or user group from the autocomplete.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Mention everyone on a stream
|
|
|
|
You can mention everyone on a stream with the `@**all**` mention. Use
|
|
sparingly! Used improperly, wildcard mentions can be annoying.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not notify anyone who has muted the stream, and
|
|
users can disable receiving email/push notifications for these
|
|
wildcard mentions, either
|
|
[globally](/help/pm-mention-alert-notifications) or for [individual
|
|
streams](/help/stream-notifications).
