I have register device token to sendbird and also sent a test message.  
But mentioned user isn’t getting notification.

I am following this doc [mention-other-participants-in-a-message](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v3/flutter/guides/open-channel#2-mention-other-participants-in-a-message)

Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks

Hello @SnehMehta and welcome to the Sendbird community.

Push notifications are only available for announcements only in open channels. Please see the features table here in the Flutter SDK Docs: [https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v3/flutter/guides/channel-types#2-open-channel-vs-group-channel-vs-supergroup-channel-3-features](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v3/flutter/guides/channel-types#2-open-channel-vs-group-channel-vs-supergroup-channel-3-features)

Sendbird Chat only allows for push notifications in group channels due to the large number of messages and users in open channels.
