Notify someone about a comment
There will be times when you write a comment and want to make sure your teammate sees it. In those cases, you can notify them.
If you're posting the first task comment without notifying a specific person, the task creator, assignee, and assignor will receive a notification about the comment.
If there's at least one comment in the task, the people who're initially notified will receive any other comment added to the task.
If you need to notify someone specific, or everyone in the project, these are the steps:
- Start a new task comment or project comment in a shared project.
- If you would like to tag the other person directly:
- Enter @ in the comment field and start typing out their name.
- You will see a list of names matching what you're typing. Once you see the person you want to tag, click their name.
- If you would simply like to notify them without tagging them directly, do the following:
- Click the field next to Notify.
- Select the users you’d like to notify by clicking their names (or click Everyone if you wish to notify everyone in the project).
- When you post the comment, the selected people will receive the comment in their notifications.
- Start a new task comment or project comment in a shared project.
- If you would like to tag the other person directly:
- Enter @ in the comment field and start typing out their name.
- You will see a list of names matching what you're typing. Once you see the person you want to tag, tap their name.
- If you would simply like to notify them without tagging them directly, do the following:
- Tap the comment field in the bottom of the screen.
