Tip 4: How to @ Mention/Tag other members
Last week, we discussed how to tag your posts in the community in #TipTuesday – if you missed it, you can view it here.
Now, let's use this week's #CommunityTip to review how to tag other members in posts i.e. @ mention.
Why?
Just like on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, @mentioning is a great way to grab someone's attention!
As you participate in various discussions with other members, you may come across a topic you are unfamiliar with but know an expert on the topic who might be able to help – this is a great opportunity to leverage this feature!
Members you @mention will receive an email that they've been mentioned with a quick link right to the post.
How?
When posting a thread simply type @ or click the @ icon and then begin typing the name of whoever you'd like! The community platform will provide a drop down list of potential members matching your query for you to select from. You then select the member and their name will appear like this @ First Name Last Name.
Please feel free to ask questions below if you have any! Tune in next week for more community tips and tricks.
