Hi Everyone,

I was searching some documentation about discourse and the possibilities to tag groups in threads like you have in Slack, but I couldn’t find it yet. So I drop it over here 😃.

Is there a possibility to make an usergroup for example `team-finance` add member to it and when someone tags the group everyone inside that group gets an notification?
