Why discuss in the signal
Signals usually need a decision from more than one person: the analyst who spotted the pattern, the channel lead who'd fix it, the account director who owns the client conversation. The discussion section keeps that conversation attached to the signal itself, so the context and the decision live in the same place — instead of scattering across chat threads that lose the link to the evidence.
Posting a comment
Open the signal from the Scan board or Overview.
Scroll to the Discussion section near the bottom of the detail view.
Type your comment and post it.
Comments are saved with the signal and visible to any teammate who opens it, so the thread doubles as a decision log — handy weeks later when someone asks why a signal was dismissed or dispatched.
Mentioning a teammate
To pull someone into the conversation:
Type
@in the comment box.Keep typing to filter the teammate picker that appears — it searches the internal team roster.
Select the person, finish your comment, and post.
Mentions are highlighted in the posted comment, and you can tag as many teammates as the decision needs.
How mentioned teammates are notified
When you @-mention someone, they're notified two ways:
In Omega — the mention lands in their in-app notifications, with a link that opens the exact signal and its discussion.
Slack — they also receive a Slack direct message, so the mention reaches them even if they're not in Omega at that moment.
Either path drops them directly into the signal with the full context — the diagnosis, the stakes, the trend, and the thread so far — so nobody has to reconstruct the story before weighing in.
Where discussion fits in the workflow
A typical flow: a signal surfaces, you read it, you tag the channel lead with a question ("Is this pattern real or a tracking artifact?"), they reply in the thread, and then someone dismisses or dispatches with confidence. The discussion isn't a separate step — it's how the team gets to the dismiss-or-dispatch decision together.
Tip: Mention people by their full name if you know it — the picker matches full names first, which keeps tags unambiguous on bigger teams.
Note: Discussions are internal to the Power Digital team. Nothing in a signal thread is visible to clients.
