How to create a trigger when someone mentions in Slack (@channel, @here, @user, @team)
Last updated: June 5, 2025
Mentions are special syntax in slack. When creating a trigger, searching for this text directly does not work. Instead use this:
@channel: <!channel>
@here: <!here>
@user: <@USERID>
@team: <!subteam^TEAMID>
To discover what is the USERID or TEAMID, navigate to Slack in a web browser and Inspect any message where there is the user/team mention
