How to use @mentions in comments
Mention one teammate
You can mention someone using the @ symbol within the comments section of a conversation, and this person will receive an email notification and/or an in-app notification, depending on his or her notification settings.
Typing the @ symbol will show your top 10 most commonly mentioned teammates. As you type in their name, the suggestions list will adjust.
Mention a non-teammate
You can mention someone who does not share a team with you. Those users will be marked with the “(not in team)” text in the autosuggest menu.
Mention your whole team
You can mention everyone on your team using @all, and every teammate will receive this mention in their inbox and/or as a notification.
Mention a custom group
You can also create an @mention shortcut that will mention a specific group of people, using rules. For instance, this rule will allow you to use the mention @cx to notify the teammates listed below.

Hi there, what does the notification in the app look like? me and my colleague noticed that there is not really a popup, information window and when pressing "notifications" in top left, we do not see the comment in which we were mentioned. Thanks for the help!

Joep, this is what new notifications should look like. Are teammates @mentioning you?

Hello
With the latest update of Front - I am unable to locate Notifications for Mentions.
Please advise.

Hi Cori Morris ,
Besides the `@all` tag, is there also something like the `@participants` tag? This is sometimes useful when there are a lot of people in that specific conversation.

Hi @wouter there isn't an "@participants" tag. I went ahead and logged this as a feature request with our Product team. Thank you for your suggestion! 🙂
