Tagging colleagues

Tagging your co-workers is a good way of drawing their attention. When you tag a colleague, they receive an email notification and a notification in Yammer.

In this recipe, we will learn about tagging your colleagues to stay connected.

How to do it...

To tag someone, do the following:

1. Go to the Yammer home page.

2. Compose a message and mention the person you want to tag by typing @ followed by their name:

How it works...

Tagging an individual notifies that person through an email. If you tag an entire community, everyone in the community receives an email. You can invite people from outside the community you are posting the message to. This feature is useful if you need to bring an expert into an existing conversation.
