Teams are the best way to mention a group of people all at once. If you find you are consistently wanting to @mention the same group of people in a thread, set up a team!
Once you create a team, simply add that team to a Thread and @mention the team "@team name" to mention everyone in the team at once.
For example, if you create a team called "Support" with all your support agents and add that team to a Thread, you can type "@Support" and it will send an @mention to all the people in that team.
Follow the steps below to create a team and start using teams in your threads.
