Notes
-----

[](#notes)

### Supported content types

[](#supported-content-types)

To add support for custom object or annotation types in outgoing notifications, add a corresponding language key pair to your language file:

`mentions:notification_types:object:``mentions:notification_types:annotation:`

### Object fields scanned for mentions

[](#object-fields-scanned-for-mentions)

Use `'get_fields','mentions'` hook to expand the scope of scanned fields beyond object `title` and `description`. The hook receives `entity` and expects and array of fields in return.

### Replacement of mentions with anchors

[](#replacement-of-mentions-with-anchors)

To add a view which should be scanned for @mentions and replaced with an anchor, use `'get_views', 'mentions'` hook.
