Smart Mentions Implementation Checklist

Smart mentions implementation should make internal collaboration more accountable. The value is not in sending more notifications; it is in making follow-up visible inside the record where the work happens.

This checklist helps teams launch smart mentions without creating notification overload.

Who this checklist is for

Use this guide if approvals, clarifications, customer notes, invoice questions, purchase exceptions, or project blockers are currently discussed in chat without durable context.

Before implementation

  • List the workflows where mentions will be used first.
  • Define when to mention a user, team, or owner.
  • Set expectations for response and escalation.
  • Decide when mentions should convert to tasks or approvals.
  • Train users to write action-oriented mention comments.

Phase-one checklist

  1. Record types for mentions are selected.
  2. User roles and visibility rules are approved.
  3. Notification and escalation rules are tested.
  4. Teams understand what makes a good mention.
  5. Managers can review unresolved follow-ups.
  6. Critical workflows avoid chat-only decisions.
  7. Mention usage is reviewed after the first two weeks.

Common mistakes

  • Mentioning everyone instead of the responsible owner.
  • Using mentions as a replacement for formal approval.
  • Not closing the loop after a question is answered.
  • Allowing notification overload.
  • Forgetting to review unresolved critical mentions.

Next step

Bring three current examples of lost follow-up to a guided demo and map them to record-level mentions.
