Get Their Attention: @Mentions Support

Mention teammates in documents and messages with @mentions. They'll get notified instantly, making collaboration more efficient.

What Changed

BrainBox now supports @mentions throughout the application.

How It Works

  • Type @ to see a list of workspace members
  • Select a person to mention them
  • They receive a notification with context

    • Where You Can Mention

  • Documents
  • Messages
  • Comments
  • Task descriptions

    • Notification Options

    Recipients can configure:
  • Email notifications
  • In-app alerts
  • Notification batching

    • Why It Matters

    @mentions are the fastest way to get someone's attention. Instead of hoping they see your message, you can directly notify them.

    Best Practices

  • Use mentions sparingly to avoid notification fatigue
  • Mention specific people, not entire teams when possible
  • Include context so the recipient knows why they're mentioned
