Learn how to collaborate with your team members by reacting, commenting and mentioning them on logged activities and notes in Nutshell

React and comment on timeline entries

When you see an interesting item in your company's feed, like a great email to a customer or a phone call that needs some attention, you can add an emoji reaction or comment on it.

To react with an emoji, simply select your emoji. To comment on an activity, note, email, activity, ticket, or chat, select the speech bubble and the Write a comment field will appear. Type in your note, then hit the green check mark to apply your comment.

Notifications for commenting and mentioning teammates

When you comment, Nutshell teammates in the original activity are notified (based on their notification settings). As others join your comment thread, anybody who comments on an item receives a notification of subsequent replies. You can configure how you receive these notifications in your notification settings.

Nutshell enabled notifications for mentions by default.
