When a group has many members, how can you let the people who need to act know they should reply?

When a team discusses a project, merchants coordinate work, or friends plan an event together, group messages can pile up quickly.

Some messages need a specific member to respond, some only need a simple acknowledgment, and some important matters must be clearly confirmed.

If every message is long text, group discussions can become scattered. If only simple emoji reactions are used, other members may not be sure what is meant.

WeiCity group chats offer @Mentions and Emoji Reactions to help members clarify who a message is for and give feedback in simple ways.

📣 @Mentions: Let specific members know which matters need their attention.

👍 Emoji Reactions: Give simple feedback on a particular message.

📝 Written confirmation: Clearly state important decisions, tasks and arrangements.

💡 @Mentions clarify who to contact, emoji reactions express feedback, and text messages confirm important matters.

This article introduces how to use WeiCity @Mentions and Emoji Reactions, and how to apply them flexibly in team, merchant and everyday groups.

WeiCity @Mention is a feature in group chats used to specify who a message is for.

When a message needs a particular member to answer, review materials or handle a matter, you can use @Mention to clearly indicate the relevant person.

📋 Work tasks

Ask the person in charge to confirm the work content.

🎨 Design revisions

Ask the designer to review the images that need adjustment.

🏪 Merchant operations

Ask the product manager to check stock or prices.

📎 File confirmation

Ask the relevant members to review the specified file.

📅 Event planning

Ask the event lead to confirm the time and location.

💼 Project progress

Ask team members to add the current status of their work.

Suppose a merchant team is preparing a promotion.

The group includes:

👤 The store manager.

🎨 Designers.

📦 The product manager.

📋 The event coordinator.

If the promotional poster needs to be confirmed, you can send:

“@Design lead, please help confirm whether the business hours on this poster are correct. A reply before 3 p.m. today is enough.”

This way, other members can also understand who is mainly responsible for this task.

Sending an @Mention does not mean that the other person has:

❌ Read the message.

❌ Agreed to the arrangement.

❌ Started working on it.

❌ Completed the task.

📌 An @Mention can clarify who to contact, but important matters still require an actual reply from that person.

When using @mentions in WeiCity for the first time, you can start with a simple group message.

The exact steps and member selection method follow the current chat interface.

Go to the group where you need to discuss something.

Get ready to type the content you want to send.

Select the member you want to mention, using the features provided in the current chat interface.

Check that the selected person is correct.

For example:

“Please confirm whether the file shared just now is correct.”

If the matter has a time requirement, you can state the deadline.

Complete sending by following the current interface.

“@Procurement Lead, please confirm whether the quotation shared earlier includes shipping costs, and reply by 10 a.m. tomorrow so we can plan the next steps.”

This message includes:

👤 Recipient: Procurement Lead.

📋 Specific task: Confirm the quotation.

📎 Reference material: The file shared earlier.

🕒 Reply time: By 10 a.m. tomorrow.

📌 An @mention is only the first step; what matters most is that the other person clearly knows what needs to be handled.

Some group messages mention a member but still do not explain the request clearly.

For example:

“@Xiao Lin, take a look.”

The other person may not know:

❓ What should they look at?

❓ Do they need to make changes?

❓ When should they reply?

❓ What should they do after reviewing it?

Therefore, it is recommended to organize your message around four key points.

Identify the member who needs to respond or handle the matter.

Explain whether they need to confirm, revise, supplement, or provide materials.

Point out the relevant image, file, or message.

If there is a time requirement, state the specific time.

“@Design Lead, please review the latest promotional image, confirm whether the headline needs to be shortened, and provide revision comments by Wednesday afternoon.”

“@Product Lead, please confirm whether Product A is currently in stock, and how many units of the white version are left.”

“@Event Lead, please review the parent information session schedule shared earlier and confirm that the event time and venue details are correct.”

“@Venue Lead, please confirm whether we can start setting up the venue at 3 p.m. on Saturday.”

You can simply write:

“When convenient, could you please take a look and confirm? Thank you.”

📌 A clear @mention message should let the other person know exactly what to do after reading it.

WeiCity reactions let you add emoji feedback to a specific message in a chat.

Unlike sending a separate text message, a reaction is directly attached to the original message.

For example, if a member shares an event photo, you can use an emoji to show that you like it.

If a colleague finishes organizing materials, you can use an emoji to express thanks.

👍 Agree or acknowledge

Suitable for expressing simple approval.

❤️ Like or support

Suitable for expressing thanks, liking something, or support.

🎉 Celebrate

Suitable for responding to good news or completed tasks.

👏 Encourage

Suitable for expressing appreciation.

😊 Friendly response

Suitable for everyday chat.

For example, a 👍 may mean:

“I saw it.”

It may also mean:

“I agree.”

Or even just:

“Okay, thanks.”

Different members may interpret it differently.

Therefore, reactions are suitable for simple feedback but not necessarily for confirming formal decisions.

📌 Reactions can reduce unnecessary short messages, but important matters should still be clearly confirmed in writing.

If you want to give simple feedback on a message, you can use the reaction feature according to the current chat interface.

Go to a direct message or group.

Confirm the message content and sender.

Find the reaction-related feature based on the current interface.

Select one that matches what you want to express.

Finish the action by following the prompts on the page.

A friend shares a photo

You can use ❤️ to show you like it.

A colleague finishes work

You can use 👏 to show encouragement.

A member shares general material

You can use 👍 to show you have seen it.

A team completes a project

You can use 🎉 to celebrate.

Especially when a group is discussing several matters in succession, check which message you are reacting to.

📌 Reactions are linked to the original message, which helps other members understand what the feedback refers to.

Although both features are used for group communication, they serve different purposes.

When you want a member to:

📋 Handle work.

📎 Review a file.

📅 Confirm a time.

💬 Answer a question.

🔍 Check materials.

When you only want to express:

😊 Received.

❤️ Thanks.

👍 Approval.

🎉 Celebration.

👏 Encouragement.

When the matter involves:

💰 Amounts.

📦 Product quantities.

📅 Appointment times.

📋 Work responsibilities.

📎 Final files.

🤝 Cooperation terms.

📌 Use reactions for simple feedback, @mentions for clear tasks, and written confirmation for important results.

Daily merchant operations may involve several roles.

For example:

🏪 Store manager.

📦 Inventory lead.

🛍️ Sales staff.

🎨 Promotional design staff.

📋 Administrative staff.

By using @mentions and reactions, you can choose the right way to communicate based on how important the matter is.

The store manager sends:

“@Inventory Lead, please confirm how much stock of the A-series storage box is still available.”

After checking, the lead replies:

“Currently, 20 units of the white version and 15 units of the blue version remain.”

The store manager sends:

“@Design Lead, please review the latest poster and confirm whether the event date is correct.”

The designer replies:

“Checked. The event date is correct.”

Other members can use 👍 to show they have seen it, if needed.

The person in charge sends:

“Venue setup will begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Relevant members, please confirm whether you can attend.”

If you need to count the number of participants accurately, it is recommended that members reply with text.

For example:

“I can attend.”

“I cannot attend.”

"Expected to arrive at the venue around 4 p.m."

Because a 👍 does not necessarily mean a member has confirmed all arrangements.

📌 Merchant teams can use emojis to reduce simple replies, but for matters involving inventory, prices, timing and work arrangements, clear written records should be kept.

Multi-person projects often involve different responsible persons.

For example, a brand design project may require:

🎨 Designers.

📝 A copywriting lead.

📋 A project coordinator.

🏪 A client representative.

For example:

"The main title of the promotional image needs to be revised."

Specify the person responsible for the revision.

For example:

"Please check the second-version design file shared just now."

For example:

"Please provide the new draft by 5 p.m. this Wednesday."

The person in charge can reply:

"Received. I will revise according to the second-version file and expect to provide it on Wednesday afternoon."

For example:

"The title revision is complete and the new draft has been shared. Please project lead confirm."

"@Design lead, please revise the promotional image based on the client's latest feedback.

📋 Revision content: shorten the main title.

📎 Reference file: second-version design.

📅 Completion time: before 5 p.m. this Wednesday.

➡️ After completion, please share the new draft in the group."

📌 @mentions help make the task recipient clear, but whether a member accepts the task and completes the work still requires an actual reply from that member.

WeiCity groups can be used together with Cloud Drive file sharing, depending on the current features.

When a file needs to be reviewed by specific members, you can use an @mention after sharing to explain.

"@Procurement lead, please review the quotation just shared and confirm whether it includes transportation fees."

"@Design lead, please review the latest image and confirm whether the title position needs adjusting."

"@Course lead, please confirm the dates and times in the latest course schedule file."

"@Product lead, please check whether the specifications on page 2 of the product catalog are correct."

✅ Confirm the file is correct.

✅ Check whether it is the latest version.

✅ Confirm whether the relevant members have viewing permission.

✅ Avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive materials.

Because simply sending a file and @mentioning members may still leave them unsure what to check.

📌 The file provides the materials, the @mention clearly identifies who should review them, and the text explanation tells them the key points to confirm.

This is a particular issue to watch for in team and merchant groups.

Suppose a merchant posts in the group:

"The final quotation is RM2,500. Everyone, please confirm."

A member replies with 👍.

This emoji could mean:

👍 Message seen.

👍 Agreed to continue discussing.

👍 Agreed to the quotation.

However, without further explanation, other members may not be able to tell what is actually meant.

"I confirm that I agree to this quotation, with a total of RM2,500, including the items listed earlier."

Do not just reply:

👍

Instead, you may write:

"Confirmed, ordering 10 pcs of Product A in white, arranged according to the price agreed by both parties."

Do not just reply:

"OK."

Instead, you may write:

"Confirmed, arriving on Saturday at 3 p.m."

You can write:

"Confirmed to adopt the second-version design, keep the title position unchanged, and move the date to the next line."

A written confirmation in chat does not necessarily mean that an order, payment or formal agreement has been completed.

For transactions, check the corresponding order, payment or contract records.

📌 Emojis are suitable for expressing attitude; clear written text is better for recording important decisions.

As group messages increase, some common situations can easily arise.

Not clear enough:

"Who is free to help with this?"

Suggested wording:

"@Project lead, please confirm which member will be responsible for this work."

Not clear enough:

“@Xiao Lin, take a look.”

Suggested wording:

"@Xiao Lin, please check whether the event date on the latest poster is correct."

Not clear enough:

"Please handle it as soon as possible."

Suggested wording:

"Please provide your revision comments by 3 p.m. this Wednesday."

You can follow up by asking:

"Are you indicating that you have seen it, or confirming that you agree with this arrangement?"

You can add:

"Please refer to the second-version file shared today."

👤 Be clear about who.

📋 Be clear about what.

📅 Be clear about when.

📌 The more specific group communication is, the easier it is for members to understand their responsibilities and next steps.

@mentions can help draw specific members' attention to a message, but they should be used appropriately.

If every message mentions a large number of members, it may cause unnecessary disruption.

For example, mention the design lead first for design questions.

Mention the product lead first for inventory questions.

Avoid sending several scattered messages in a row.

For example:

"@Xiao Lin."

"Are you free?"

"Can you take a look?"

"The image needs changes."

These can be combined into:

"@Xiao Lin, please check the promotional image shared earlier and confirm whether the title needs to be shortened. Reply when convenient."

If it is not urgent, you can say:

"Reply when convenient."

If there is a clear deadline, it should be stated clearly.

For example:

"@Design lead, the file mentioned earlier has been updated. Please refer to the latest version."

If the other person has not replied, you can follow up as appropriate based on the importance of the matter and time requirements.

📌 Using @mentions appropriately makes important messages more targeted and reduces unnecessary group disruption.

Emoji reactions are not only suitable for work; they also suit everyday exchanges with friends and family.

When family members share travel photos, they can use ❤️ to express that they like them.

When members share event photos, they can use 🎉 to express happiness.

When colleagues finish organizing materials, they can use 👏 to express encouragement.

When members share general notices, they can use 👍 to show they have seen them.

When members share helpful study materials, they can use ❤️ or 👍 to express thanks.

❌ Customer complaints.

❌ Serious work errors.

❌ Payment disputes.

❌ Contract terms.

❌ Misunderstandings that need explaining.

❌ Matters involving responsibility and delivery.

These situations usually require a complete written explanation.

📌 Emoji reactions suit simple, friendly interactions; when explanation or taking responsibility is needed, a written reply is more appropriate.

If you have not used these two features before, you can start with a simple group scenario.

Go to the group where you need to discuss something.

For example:

"Need to confirm the poster for Saturday's event."

Select the member responsible for design.

For example:

"@Design lead, please confirm whether the date and location on this poster are correct."

Wait for the relevant members to reply.

For example:

"Checked. The date and location are correct."

To simply express thanks or agreement, you can add 👍 or ❤️ to a reply.

For example:

"Confirmed. We will use the current poster version. The event date and location remain unchanged."

📌 Start with a simple task to get familiar with how @mentions, emoji reactions, and written confirmations work together.

WeiCity @mentions and emoji reactions let group members choose the right way to communicate for each situation.

With these two features, you can:

📣 Identify the Right Audience

Let relevant members know which matters need their attention.

📋 Explain Tasks

Use a complete message to explain what needs to be done.

📎 Discuss Files Together

Ask specific members to review the relevant materials.

👍 Give Simple Feedback

Acknowledge, thank, or agree with a message.

😊 Add More Interaction

Make conversations with friends, family, and teams feel more natural.

💬 Reduce Unnecessary Replies

Simple feedback does not always require a separate, lengthy message.

📝 Confirm Important Results

For matters involving amounts, dates, products, and work arrangements, use written text to make things clear.

Group communication can start with three simple principles:

📣 If someone needs to take action, @mention them clearly.

👍 If only simple feedback is needed, use an appropriate emoji reaction.

📝 For important decisions, confirm them in writing.

This way, members can more easily see what they need to pay attention to and understand the outcome of discussions.
