Getting the Attention of a User (Notifications and Mentions)

Zulu chat uses the concept of Mentions.  A mention is away of getting the attention of a user within a chat room and that user receiving a notification of the chat room.

Inside the chat room you would type in a message such as  “@dhardy you around for a call” to send a notification to user dhardy.

The user will get a notification that they were mentioned inside the chat room and if they are not a member of the chat room it will notify them of the message and ask them to join the room at the same time.
