Unable to @mention user on slack using slack spoke

When trying to mention a user on slack, We have an action to post a message. Using that action if we send "@xyz" that is posted as a plain text but it is not mentioned on slack.

 

Did anyone implement the same? If yes kindly advice.

 

Thanks,

Satyeswar.

Heya, Satyeswar - did you ever find a solution to this?

I did find a solution to this: As referenced below by @rad2 - "userID" is different than their display name or username in Slack. If you open a user's profile by clicking their name, hit the Three Dots under their profile and select "Copy Member ID" - that's the ID you'll need to ref. in the flow to properly tag someone.

Hello, use <@userID> in the message to tag the user
