How to organize internal chat by filtering messages where you were mentioned and marking everything as read

In Jestor's internal chat, a new category automatically separates conversations where you were mentioned, showing how many times that happened in each channel — and a button lets you mark all unread messages as read at once.

Why does filtering mentions in internal chat matter?

In teams with high message volume, it's easy to lose track of what actually needs attention — a direct mention — in the middle of general conversations that don't require an immediate reply.

How do mentions and mark-as-read work in Jestor?

A new mentions category appears separate from the rest of the conversations, showing which channels you were mentioned in and how many times in each.
You can focus on just that category, setting the rest of the chat aside.
A mark-as-read button clears all unread messages at once, mentioned or not.
These two improvements work together: you can closely follow just the important mentions and, whenever you want, clear the rest of the chat with one click.

Feature	Needs manual activation?
Mentions category	No, appears automatically
Mark all as read	No, button available on the conversations screen

To use mentions and mark-as-read:

Open the mentions category, already available automatically in the chat.
Track which channels you were mentioned in.
Use the mark-as-read button to clear unread messages at once.

Why choose Jestor to avoid missing important messages?

Since internal chat already replaces WhatsApp groups and other scattered conversations, having a quick way to separate direct mentions from general conversation prevents important messages from getting lost in the volume.
