With the relatively new tagging feature @username, when someone does this tag on my username, apart from receiving the notification here on OzB, can I also choose to receive an email notification (or other external notification like Telegram etc)?

@ilovefullprice
write a script.
Makes things extremely difficult without an API if I am writing my own script
See more info here, 15 Mar 2021 [New Feature]: Tagging Users.
can I also choose to receive an email notification (or other external notification like Telegram etc)?
It is based on your event notifications. You can turn on email there instead of or as well as a web notification.Edit: Web Notification only. To get all your OzBargain web notifications to your Telegram, use the OzBNotification Bot. More info / how to connect your OzBargain account to Telegram here.We recommend using Telegram to get notifications, instead of the OzBargain app which is no longer being updated.
Under event notifications -> I can see the tagging notifications is under “Misc. Notification” -> under this section there is no option to receive email (or Telegram notification) for tagging notifications. Can you confirm this Hamza?
Yes all notifications should use the settings above that, under the 'Events' header.
Notify me when:
A deal reaches +30 votes.
A deal reaches +100 votes.
A deal reaches +30 votes in 30 minutes.
A competition reaches +30 entries.
Notifications
Email WebThanks but these check box options (deal reaching +30, +100 votes etc.) under the “Events” header does not include a check box option for tagging @username
@ilovefullprice: Yeah sorry, I thought it was just a lay out thing, but it looks like that section doesn't have an email notification option at all, only web (which includes Telegram if connected). I'll discuss and let you know if that changes in the future.
On that note, any issues with the app? haven't been getting notifications on mobile
@ilovefullprice
To test.
Yup got the web notification.
Wished Ozbargain had an API…

You need to upgrade to a Premium account.
@ilovefullprice: @ilovefullprice, He is not wrong though….
I have Premium and can access it just fine….
@ilovefullprice
wow, i never knew this existed
@c64: LPT: don't tag someone in when you reply to them else they get 2 notifications. It's friggin' annoying when users do that.
Maybe it's my browser, but I start to type the user name/ get the drop down list/ then when I go to click on the correct user name it doesn't " take" and I can't tag at all
Firefox
132.0 (Build #2016051567)
here, let me try that @snappy1234
Did you get the notification?
(I used the autofill selection to pick your name)
Why am I getting snappy1234 notifications in my account?
Because you are logged into your alt account… I keep getting all the old @muzeeb pings to this account even though I abandoned the other one ages ago…
😅
I definitely received it.
Something on my browser is blocking it.
Not that fussed but is very handy to see the little bell.
@pegaxs
Trying now
It doesn’t work for me, I have the feature locked down to only accept pings from certain people :)
I had to turn it off basically due to trolling.
only accept pings from certain people
@pegaxs - just seeing if I made the list.
Radio silence, brutal 😭
Thought I would let him sweat it out… still not confirming or denying… :D
@jv
That’s crazy if everyone started doing this 😂
@ilovefullprice i agree
im going to tag peopleDon’t get yourself banned bro
@Wiadro
Hello
Good bye.
@ilovefullprice, hello!
@Gunnar
@GunnarYo what’s up bro. Did you get 2 or 3 notifications?
2: one to say you replied and one to say you tagged me
Right so it recognises one tag per comment
@jv
@RoadZilla
no friends?
none on OzB.
Unfortunately tagging didn't work for me. I didn't get any notification. Doesn't work on self tags?
@RoadZilla here you go.
@ilovefullprice
it's not new…
