# Discord ## How do you tag a user in Discord? To tag a user in your post, use this syntax: ``` `<@userid>` ``` ## How can you access messages sent to a private channel? To trigger workflows on messages sent to a private channel, you'll need to **add the Relay.app Discord bot** to the channel first. Relay.app relies on authorization of the bot to read message data. You can add the bot in a couple ways. #### **Add the bot from the channel** Click "Add members or roles" and select the Relay.app bot.
