# 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.
