How to @mention Users in Zendesk Forum
How do I @mention a user in Zendesk's community forum?
To @mention a user in Zendesk's community forum, simply type the '@' symbol followed by the user's name or alias without any spaces. As you type, a picklist will appear, showing potential matches. You need to type at least three characters for the list to show suggestions. If there are many users with similar names, continue typing until the correct user is identified.
Once a user is @mentioned, they receive an email notification, and their name becomes a clickable link to their profile page in the help center.
