Add @ mentions to groups in Conversations

[Deleted User]

Would be great to add mentions via a group i.e. @Purchasing and I could notify all users within that group.

We have set up groups through our admin. However we cannot access the groups in conversations. We are seeking the ability to send to all in a conversation or specific groups instead of adding the individuals. How can we accomplish this?

Essentially we are trying to mimic the function used in outlook for group e-mails.

It would be a great time saver if I could type in a mention to all people with a sheet / workspace as I am constantly having to mention all the individuals when I want to notify everyone.

It could be as easy as @sheet name - then the message.

Thanks

The most asked question I receive from my company is @groups in conversations and in proofing. This would be a game changer and save additional time.

Agreed. This would be very helpful. We set up a distribution list in Outlook and added that in our Smartsheet group. Then we can @ mention that address in our comments and a message goes to all the users in the DL. The only drawback is that 2 notifications are sent to the DL by Smartsheet every time the group is added to a new sheet. If everything you are working on is in a workspace you're already in, you probably wouldn't get these.

I have to echo this sentiment. I've made a structural change to a workspace shared with many users via a group. I wanted to post a comment and tag the entire group so they're aware of the change. Having this functionality available would have been great.

Preserve Original Filenames for Multi-Photo Uploads in Smartsheet Mobile App
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
Joyful Animations - in Smartsheet!
I am proposing bringing a bit of pizzazz to Smartsheet by having celebratory animations for certain criteria. Think Joyful Animations in Outlook! My team was hoping to have some sort of confetti pop/gif/image when we close out a project or hit a milestone. Bonus points if it is configurable like the automations are.
