Trigger

User @-Mentioned in Update Trigger

When a user is @-mentioned in an update or reply

Fire an automation the moment someone is @-mentioned in an update or threaded reply on a board. Pairs perfectly with the Out-of-Office Auto-Reply action so mentions never get missed when teammates are away.

Demo

Use Cases

Detect when a teammate is @-mentioned so you can auto-reply if they're out of office

Log every @-mention to an audit board for response-time tracking

Trigger escalation workflows when specific people are tagged in updates

Real-World Example

Your team uses board updates as the primary discussion thread. When someone @-mentions a teammate, this trigger fires — feeding straight into the Out-of-Office Auto-Reply action so the author instantly knows if the person is on holiday, in a meeting, or otherwise unavailable.
