Mention people in FigJam text objects

Let teammates know where you need their attention or assign tasks by tagging people in stickies and text. Those mentioned are notified according to their notification preferences.

You can tag someone in:

• Sticky notes
• Shapes with text
• Text objects made with the Text tool
• Connector and line text

Because others can’t reply to mentions in text objects, consider these tags a more lightweight or casual alternative to starting a full conversation using comments.

Add a mention

When editing a text field:

1. Press the @ key and start typing the person's name or email. Figma will suggest collaborators based on your history.
2. Click on the person's name in the list. If the person you tag isn’t in the file, they’ll be invited to view the file or request access.

Figma sends an email to the person you tagged with a preview of the FigJam board and the text they were mentioned in. If they have in-app notifications enabled, they’ll also receive a notification in Figma.
