Where Mentions Work

Mentions are available anywhere you create or discuss work in Taskade. This ensures links and context travel with your workโ€”no matter the view.

When you @mention something, a backlink is created automatically in:


Project editor (all views)

Create deep links to entire projects or specific items to connect roadmaps, docs, tasks, and databases. Great for references, dependencies, and related work.


Comments

Anchor conversations to the exact work item, file, or agent youโ€™re discussing. Mentions keep context in-thread and notify the right people automatically.


Team Chat

Bring live work into chat without pasting URLs. Use unique icons to identify @mention areas and let teammates jump straight into action.


Pro Tips

A few small habits make linking faster and more reliable for everyone. Consistent naming improves search results, and hub projects make it easier to discover related work. Review links after renames or moves to keep everything tidy.
