Tag Teammates in Planner Cards & Push Notifications

It would be really helpful to add more ways to notify teammates on through planner:
-Tag teammates in Planner Card comments
-Push notifications for mobile when mentioned in such tags.

    We are missing so many comments because people simply don't know comments have been made. We have nearly 300 cards on one board, we review them every week, assign them to individuals and add a comment where we expect someone to take action. We have missed so many activities as people have not been notified that they have an action. So right now we add a comment and then email the person that we have added a comment (pretty mad right). The only time we don't need to email people is if they have already made a comment, as they will then receive subsequent comments.

    The whole idea of having a group mailbox for all planner traffic to see group notifications just doesn't work, keeping on top of my own mailbox is enough without having other mailboxes to manage, especially when you are across multiple plans.

    Being able to @ \ Tag people is a must have so we can notify individuals when they need to take action.

    Recently transitioned from Trello to Planner. This is a basic need for communicating inside of tasks. Please prioritize making this a capability within Planner.

    Please add this feature, it is essential and available in competitor apps such as Monday.com and others.

    This is absolutely necessary to enable teams to work together on tasks. I can't believe this isn't a feature already and am hoping it's corrected soon or we're moving to Trello.

    This is a hygiene factor for this tool to be properly effective and ensure adoption.

    Have the possibility to Tag people on planner comments can be useful

    Just made the switch from Trello to Planner and, honestly I regret it because of this feature. This needs to happen like yesterday.

    It would be really useful to tag task group and non task group colleagues to an action or a note in the task.

    Trying to move people out of Trello, and today the main volume of resistance I am receiving is around this gap. It really need to be sorted asap please.

    Wanting to transition my team from using visual task boards in Service Now to using Planner in Teams, so quite a big surprise that this isn't a feature yet!

    As other users have indicated, this is a basic (thus, expected) feature for a team planning tool like yours.
