2.3 Task Comments and Mentions
Comments in AB keep communication organized, contextual, and visible to the right people. Instead of scattered chats, task-specific discussions happen directly inside the task detail panel — with support for mentions, rich text, and Microsoft Teams integration.
Adding a Comment
- Open any task and scroll to the Comments section.
- Type your message using rich text formatting if needed (e.g. bold, lists, links).
- Click Post to submit your comment. It will be saved with your name and timestamp.
Using Mentions
- Type
@followed by a teammate's name to mention them directly (e.g.@Nin). - Mentioned users receive a notification — in-app and/or in Microsoft Teams, depending on settings.
- You can also mention entire roles or teams (e.g.
@Developers) if configured.
Microsoft Teams Integration
- When a comment is added, it can optionally post to the related Teams channel thread under an adaptive card.
- Replies made in Teams are synced back into the task comment thread (if integration is enabled).
- This keeps communication in sync across both platforms — Teams and ACTIONBRIDGE.
Comment History
- All comments are stored with author and timestamp for visibility and auditability.
- Deleted or edited comments (if allowed) are versioned and marked accordingly.
Tips
- Use comments to provide updates instead of editing the task description — this keeps change history clean.
- Mentioning someone is a great way to assign lightweight tasks without formal reassignment.
- For important announcements, consider pinning or highlighting a comment at the top of the thread (if enabled).
With integrated comments and mentions, ACTIONBRIDGE brings conversation and execution into one space — aligned, searchable, and accountable.
