# Tagging

### User Tagging

#### Description

User tagging allows a bot to mention specific users in a message, which triggers a notification for the mentioned users.

#### Usage

To tag a user in a message, use the following format:

```markdown
<@user_id>
```

#### Example

If you want to mention a user with the ID `1126549428686311434`, the message format will be:

```markdown
Hello <@1126549428686311434>, welcome to the server!
```

When the bot sends this message, it will appear as:

```markdown
Hello @username, welcome to the server!
```

Where `@username` is the display name of the user with the specified ID.

#### Notes

* Ensure that the bot has the required permissions to mention users.
* You can obtain a user's ID by enabling Developer Mode in Discord and right-clicking the user's name.
* Specific triggers and step in FlexyBot will give you a placeholder option to get user id.

### Channel Tagging

#### Description

Channel tagging allows the bot to mention specific channels in a message, making it easier for users to navigate to the mentioned channels.

#### Usage

To tag a channel in a message, use the following format:

```markdown
<#channel_id>
```

#### Example

If you want to mention a channel with the ID `1227322245584781434`, the message format will be:

```markdown
Please check the updates in <#1227322245584781434>.
```

When the bot sends this message, it will appear as:

```markdown
Please check the updates in #channel-name.
```

Where `#channel-name` is the name of the channel with the specified ID.

#### Notes

* The bot must have permission to view the channel it is tagging.
* You can obtain a channel's ID by enabling Developer Mode and right-clicking the channel's name.
* Specific triggers and step in FlexyBot will give you a placeholder option to get channl id.

### Role Tagging

#### Description

Role tagging allows the bot to mention a role, notifying all users with that role.

#### Usage

To tag a role in a message, use the following format:

```python
<@&role_id>
```

#### Example

If you want to mention a role with the ID `1163009011235422278`, the message format will be:

```markdown
Attention <@&1163009011235422278> members, please join the meeting.
```

When the bot sends this message, it will appear as:

```markdown
Attention @role-name members, please join the meeting.
```

Where `@role-name` is the name of the role with the specified ID.

#### Notes

* The bot needs the "Mention Everyone" permission to tag roles.
* You can obtain a role's ID by enabling Developer Mode and right-clicking the role's name.
* Specific triggers and step in FlexyBot will give you a placeholder option to get role id.

### Tagging Everyone or Here

#### Description

The bot can mention `@everyone` or `@here` to notify all members of a server or only the members who are online, respectively.

#### Usage

To mention everyone in a message:

```markdown
@everyone Please join the general channel for updates.
```

To mention only online users:

```markdown
@here The event is starting now!
```

#### Notes

* The bot needs the "Mention Everyone" permission to use `@everyone` or `@here`.
* Be cautious with these tags as they notify a large number of users.
