Mentions and team activity

What it is

Type @ in a lead’s note and pick a teammate. They find it in their Notifications, get a buzz on their phone if push is on, and see a pop-up if they have Acre open.

On Today, the Team activity card shows the latest things done in the workspace: who, what, when, and on which lead.

Mention a teammate

1. 1

   Open the lead

   Go to the lead’s Activity tab. The note box at the top says “Add a note, @ to mention, or remind me…”.

Good to know

• Mentions work in the note box on the lead’s page. A note written in the Log activity box doesn’t notify anyone.
• You can mention people in this workspace, but not yourself.
• Delete the @Name from the note before you tap Add and that person isn’t notified.
• For the buzz on their phone, they need push turned on: see Push notifications.
• Notifications also gather follow-ups that are due and, under a line, what the team did on your leads.
• A note doesn’t finish a follow-up.
