To get someone's attention in a channel conversation or a chat, @mention them. Just type @ before their name and then select them from the menu that appears.
Note: You can also mention someone simply by typing their name. Start by capitalizing the first letter: as you continue to type the name, a list of people will appear for you to choose from.
When an @mention recipient receives a notification, selecting it takes them directly to the point in the conversation where they were mentioned.
To get the attention of an entire group, try one of the following:
-
Post something in the team's general channel. The channel name will appear bold for every team member.
-
Type:
-
@general to notify everyone in the general channel
-
@<team name> to notify everyone on that team
-
@<channel name> to notify everyone in that channel
-
If you're in a chat rather than a channel, you can notify everyone in the chat by typing @everyone in your message.
Important: A team owner must first enable these features.
