We invite you to test out a beta feature on Pipedrive: @mentions in Notes. You can join this channel to receive regular updates on beta-testing @mentions -> https://community.pipedrive.com/group/mentions-beta-testing 

You can @mention your team mates (users in the same Pipedrive account) in Notes (deal, person, organization notes) and they will receive an email notification about that @mention.

To have this feature enabled, please fill this form with your registered email address on Pipedrive and the name of the Pipedrive account -  https://forms.gle/ik2kw7ccbmxwDEqy8

This is one of the first steps we’re taking towards improving collaboration in teams within Pipedrive.

What is not available in the beta-test but is being developed at the moment:

  • In-app notifications through the Sales Assistant 💡
  • Ability to respond to @mentions by leaving comments 💬

Please note:

  1. This feature is still in beta and you may encounter bugs. I’d request you to leave your feedback and report any bugs in the thread below.
  2. After you have submitted the feature-request form, it will take us a few hours to enable the beta feature (depending on timezones).

    Just wanted to inform the beta-testers who signed up, that we're having a tiny user-interface bug at the moment. We hope to get that fixed soon. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

    Edit: It's fixed now! 🚀

    @Vincent Jyrwa & @Liisa Pool - just two additional usability comments.

    1. For some reason, I habitually hit the tab bar after I select the @mention to complete it. I do this on other social platforms as well. When I do it here, it doesn't jump to after the @mentioned name but rather moves the entire selection.
    2. When I put a dash behind the @mention like so "@mention - " it creates a bullet point out of the dash. 

    Not huge issues once you learn to work around it - but it definitely tripped me a few times when in a hurry to leave a comment.

    Thank you Jan for the feedback. We'll look into these two cases!

    @Vincent Jyrwa -  I am very interested in the collaborative element of @mentions ie responding to someone's @mention and actually having a dialog. How do you see this?

    hello, I have a question. Would be possible when a time member was tag in a note, receive a notification through email?

    Hi @Aline Giesel  Yes, a team member would receive a notification email when s/he is tagged in a note. We are working on building notifications inside the app (via the sales assistant). That should be ready in a few weeks. Hope I was able to answer your question :)
