Notify members

Send notifications to an individual in the topic

You can use the (@) function to notify an individual about your message. This is useful if you wish to let an individual be aware or check your message quickly.

If the notifications setting is turned on, the user who gets mentioned will receive a notification on their desktop or push notifications if they’re using the Typetalk mobile application.
