Task Notifications and @mention in Planner
- Notifications to the task creator on any changes to a task's status in planner
- Email notifications should include the plan/board that that the task is associated to or a part of
- User should be able to @mention other users within a task
- User should be able to create private channels within a team

This is crazy. How do you expect to get the attention of anyone on a task if they have to pre-comment to receive updates...
I have like 100 tasks open at any given time and if I want to check in on a status I have to call the person to tell them to comment to aknowledge??? At least add a checkbox 'Send message to assignees' after a comment. @mention is always preferable though...

We absolutely need it. Seems like this is the only feature my coworkers are missing in the teams environment.... come on Microsoft. Give it a go

Not being able to "call attention" to a task in planner, seems a no brainer. Adding @mentions to comments in SharePoint lists, seems @mentions in Planner should be on the roadmap as well.

How is it not a function already? This thread is from 2018?? Is microsoft team even listen to us?

Agree that @ mentions should be available on both the task checklist and within the notes field. Very much needed on my current project.

Literally a critical feature. If this isn't Planner's no.1 roadmap priority then you're bananas.
It's barely usable without it. Basic user scenario - 2 people are collaborating on a task, one person says: 'Hey @joeblogs ive just added an attachment, left a note, and here's a comment @mentioing you specifically'
....end scenario.
Joe Blogs hasn't been notified of the attachment, the note, the comment, or even the @mention of his name. Despite being the owner of that task. It's kind of the whole point of project management. When the Teams integration was built, i thought to myself 'Ah finally! Teams collaboration!' buuuuuut nope. Still can't notify people. Even though the app is called 'Teams' - not much teamwork going on with this one!
Personally, I feel it must have been part of the MVP? Very weird!!

Ridiculous this is not a feature. All other apps like this have it.

This is super essential in collaboration around tasks in a plan. Communication around one task should not require someone to be assigned to the task in order for the notification to be sent to that person.

We will just have to use Trello until this functionality is added. I just won't be able to convince my users to step back 3 years.

My team used to use Trello which allows for @mentions especially when you want to Inform (RACI) somebody, not assign a task to them. I've convinced them to migrate to Planner, but now they can't use the @mention feature they are used to using. Please add this feature.

Upvoted... almost unreal that @ mentions are not available within tasks on Planner. I really hope MS gets around to implementing this.

Would love to use it for checklist options on template tasks, so that regular routinge Jobs can be directed to the dedicated persons.

Please add the feature that we can use the @ to notify people inside a task in planner.
