Getting the Attention of a User (Notifications and Mentions)

  • Zulu chat uses the concept of Mentions.  A mention is away of getting the attention of a user within a chat room and that user receiving a notification of the chat room.
  • Inside the chat room you would type in a message such as  "@dhardy you around for a call" to send a notification to user dhardy.
