Tagging people in Teams using @ with teams activities possible?

Hi guys

I’m using the UiPath teams activities and I’m trying to alert users in teams by tagging them using the @name in teams with HTML.

Tried different HTML tags like <at @email
but not sure where i’m going wrong

My teams msg seems to be formatted by the HTML however i can’t get the <@ to work.

anyone have done this before or have any ideas?

Cheers!

Screenshots:

All variables is just replaced using string.replace
HTML looking like this:

As its html can you try using %40 instead of @

Cheers

When i did that it shows up as %40 in teams

i tried with a space in between second run.

Can you try this format

<at id="0">DisplayName of Person</at>

Cheers

cheers

@kali, were you able to make this work?

Hi @Anil_G, this approach did not work for me. Were you able to have success with this approach?

Unfortunately the package doesn’t support tags or anything that helps with tagging.
Perhaps the teams package in windows will be better.
