How to configure "mention" with Microsoft Team Graph spoke when Post Message?

oster · ‎01-14-2025

Hello,

Has anyone been able to post a message to teams with a mention? I cannot get this to work, the part of my post which is suppose to be the "mention" is just free text. Im not sure exactly what needs to be populated in the mention parts, as its just data-pills allowed.

The pre-processing part looks OK for mention but then in the Post body it seem that the mention is not formatted correct.

Thankful for any assistance in this matter.

I have now solved this. I had the "title" field populated in my Post Message. When the title is populated, mentions is not supported as the title will create a Thumbnail Card in Teams. Leaving the title field empty mention works fine.

Hi Michael,

I used the OOB Teams action 'Look Up Team Members Stream' to look up the user and then used the Display Name field. Display Name is just a string but in the format that the message is expecting. Hope that helps
