@mention for groups in Sharepoint NewsFeed
I've been searching for a solution how to @mention a group of users in Sharepoint Newsfeed webpart. I know its not possible by default and mentioning users ise limited to max 6 person.
Teams has this group mention option. I was wondering, if there will be an opportunity to embed specific Teams group channel to Sharepoint site/page as webpart? That would be super useful.
Or is there any other alternative how to notify group of users when posting to SP NewsFeed webpart?
Any suggestions are welcome :)
- I wouldnt expect to ever see those coming to the old SharePoint NewsFeed. But having some kind of "Group" or "Team" embed (like Yammer embed), I think would be quite useful.
This is great idea! I would love to see this implemented. I have just turned on the Team functionality and was not able to @mention a team or even a SharePoint security group.
Mihkel Moorats hey Mihkel have you ever had an answer to this Q as I am very interested myself?
thks 🙂
Hi, HerveDup
Unfurtunatelly I haven't got any feedback on this. But by today, newsfeeds are going to be history and I would not build anything on top of it...Hey Mihkel Moorats
thks very much for your answer. I'm actually looking at being able to tag a group of people in the comment section at the bottom of a communication Sharepoint Site.
Would you have any info on that, because it's not working. I'd indeed like Sharepoint to send an email to all members of the group that I am tagging and not send an email to the email address of the group itself.
For example my group is @EMEAmarketing and there is 10 employees in it. Currentljy what Sharepoint is doing when I tage the group in the comment section is that it sends an email to the email address of the group (for ex: emeamarketing@outlook.com) instead of sending an email to each individual member that is part of the EMEA marketing group.
Thks for your help again
Hervé
