Assign Tasks and Use Mentions
Want to assign a task to someone? Just tag them directly in the list item or in the note — they'll get a notification. It’s a simple and effective way to flag responsibilities.
Examples:
-
@Fii Review the draft -
Add more detail in the note field or in a thread if needed.
Make a List Channel Private
You can assign a List channel to a single person (or a specific group) using channel permissions. This is useful for:
-
Private to-do lists

Assigning tasks without cluttering team-wide lists

Go to the channel settings > Permissions, and restrict visibility and edit access as needed.
