Hey there!

**Questions:**

1. Is there a way to enable sending @ mention email notifications to myself? (I’m not receiving email notifications when I @ mention myself)

2. Are email notifications of @ mentions sent to others only, and not sent to ourselves, by design?

3. Given the context below, does the community have alternative methods of achieving the same below?

**Context:**  
An incredibly useful feature in gDocs is the ability to @ mention myself in comments, so that

1. an email arrives in my inbox as an action item for me to process / action on later, and
2. it serves as a way to quickly highlight text for skimming later (no text highlight shortcut in gDocs sadly)

Now that I’m adopting Coda, doing all of the above in Coda would be more seamless and powerful!

_HOWEVER_… it doesn’t look like Coda is sending me any emails when I @ mention myself.

Any help and ideas much appreciated! Thanks all!

Hi @Grant_Sukchindasathien, thanks for this feedback! Our team is working to improve the commenting & notification experience in Coda and recently enabled receiving a notification when you @ mention yourself in comments to solve your pain point described. I’ve linked the announcement below.

Thanks again for sharing feedback to help us improve Coda 🙂

> Doc comments are a natural place for collaboration. They’re a great way to share feedback, questions, and praise, while also creating a historical view of the doc and the decisions your team has made. And because you may not be a stakeholder in every single one of those comment threads, we’ve added more customizations to your doc notification settings. So, you can now tune in to the conversations where your expertise is needed—and tune out the rest. Click on the settings gear icon in the upper…
