# @-mention a team member
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
You can view any messages calling your attention by clicking on the
|
|
**@-mentions** filters in the left sidebar.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
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.
