Can you add a mention to your comment via email?

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know how you can add a mention in your comment via email?

So each time somebody mentions me,  I get an email which i can respond to. This places my response underneath the card. Which is nice, but I want to give a mention to a particular person. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi @Birgit ! Welcome to the community :)  if you type out the @mention in your email, it should translate over to Trello just fine. The only thing is you'll have to memorize what people's usernames are. If it's just one or two usernames you have to remember, that might be fine, but if there's a large number of usernames you're using, you might want to save them to easily use. I know Gmail has saved responses you can choose from, so that's one way to quickly insert an @mention.

Alternatively, it might actually just be easier to open the card and just reply directly there.
