Professional Email: How to use Mentions in Emails

Writing an email often means referring to clients, collaborators, or other important contacts. The Mention feature in Bluehost Professional Email lets you tag a recipient right in the body of your message by typing the @ symbol followed by the contact's name, which keeps your conversations clear and organized.

Say you run a photography business and you're sending a shoot schedule to a client. While writing the message, you realize your assistant needs to be part of the conversation too. Rather than adding them to the recipient list by hand, you can simply mention them in the email, and they are added to the recipient list automatically.
