I’ve seen in another topic that it isn’t possible to natively mention/tag someone in the Comments component. I’m wondering if anyone has developed a workaround for this. We use comments in Airtable frequently, and anyone mentioned in the comment gets notified via email. Would love to replicate this functionality in Glide. ---

You could have an onsubmit action that is looking at the message and if it contains @\_\_\_\_ then send an email to the user. (I’m oversimplifying it) You’d need a way to relate @\_\_\_ to the actual user to bring back their email address in order to know where to send the mention. ---

Thanks @Robert_Petitto - I think that could definitely work! I just followed along with your video on setting up the Comments / Chat component in Glide and found it super helpful. Thanks for all you do for the Glide community! ---
