Communicating through monday.com will make things easy to refer back to at a later date and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. This article explains step by step how to communicate with your team. 

 

How to send a message to your team

To send a message to a team member, simply open the item you wish to communicate on and use the @mention followed by your message. 

 

 

Your team member will receive an instant notification in the "I was mentioned" tab on their bell notification center. They can also turns on their email notifications to receive an email about it. 

 

Being able to communicate in context will save you from sending emails back and forth. You can even see if your team member read your message by hovering over the eye at the bottom right corner of the update.
