**Updated and working with 3.0 stable.**

**New feature has been added on 18.08.2020** (see [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-pm-mentions-plugin-restore-group-admins-mentions-in-user-messages-for-discourse-2-2-and-up/108620/8))

To edit the custom prompt search for `js.restore_pm_mentions.alert`

## Description

As you may know already, the ability to mention @Jean11 groups within PMs [was removed in Discourse 2.2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-mentions-and-messages/36228/23). I found this feature very useful (so did my community) and I was sad to see it go. This plugin brings the function back. It’s a super simple plugin that only adds one setting to your discourse instance:

So, if your users miss the old way of inviting admins to PMs, feel free to use it.

## Description:

This plugin allows your users to mention [@admins](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/admins) in their PMs. The tag sends a notification to all admins in the admin group.

**Note:** This will only work on admin group mentions, not regular users.

Thank you.
