Mentioning Channels, Roles, and Users

TIP

If you want to mention @everyone or @here, use the {everyone} or {here} variables instead. See Using Variables for more details.

  2. In your Discord server, find the user you want to mention.
  3. Right-click their name and select Copy User ID. This copies a long numeric ID to your clipboard.
  4. In the Streamcord dashboard, open the notification you want to edit and find the Notification Message field.
  5. Place your cursor where you want the mention to appear and type <@ followed by the user ID, then close it with >.

Example: If the user ID is 375805687529209857, the mention should look like:

<@375805687529209857>

  4. Place your cursor where you want the mention to appear and type <# followed by the channel ID, then close it with >.

Example: If the channel ID is 123456789012345678, the mention should look like:

Enabling Developer Mode

Developer Mode is only required if you want to mention a specific user or prefer to insert mentions manually. To enable it:

  1. Open Discord and go to User Settings (the gear icon near your username).
  2. In the left sidebar, select Advanced.
  3. Toggle on Developer Mode.

Once enabled, you'll be able to right-click users, roles, and channels to copy their IDs.
