1. Likes

Has someone written a good blog post or page on weCollaboratee? Or made a comment you agree with? Click the Like button to let them know.

When you like a page, blog post or comment, the author of the content receives a notification.

Disabling notifications when your content is 'liked':

To turn the 'someone likes your page' notifications off:

Open an email notification of a like, and click Manage Notifications

2. Using Mentions

Mentions (often known as @mentions) are a seamless way of drawing someone's attention to a page or comment. When you mention a user, they'll receive a notification by email and in their workbox.

There are two ways to mention someone: using autocomplete or via the Insert menu in the editor toolbar.

3. Use autocomplete

To mention someone using autocomplete, type '@' in the editor then start typing their name. Choose the person you want to mention from the list of suggestions.

The order WeCollaborate suggests people is influenced by your network and the people you interact with on a regular basis. People you follow or who are following you will be suggested first.

4. Use the Insert menu

If you'd rather use the Insert menu, choose Insert > User Mention then search for and select the user you want to mention.

5. Notes

Link to a user profile – You can use a square bracket '[' and a person's name to trigger weCollaborate autocomplete and link to a person's user profile or personal space. weCollaborate will send the person a notification just as if you had used @mention (unless the administrator has disabled the user mention feature).
Mentioning groups – You can only mention individual users. There's a feature request to allow mentions for groups.
Mention notifications - A notification is sent to the people you mention the first time you mention them, but not for subsequent mentions. If you need to catch someone's attention, and you've already mentioned them, try sharing the page with them instead.
