Add Mention
To add a mention to a post, you can select one or multiple roles.
You have the option to mention roles always or use a keyword filter to mention only when the Title or Description contains a specific keyword.
If you want to send a notification to a specific mentioned role, ensure that Post Only URLs is turned on, otherwise the mention will be inside embed and will not trigger a Discord notification.
