@Expiscornovus Here is a thread 🙂

 

I have this body:

 

{
 "importance": "urgent",
 "body": {
 "content": "Check this out!<br>Tag: <at id=\"0\">Review alert</at>",
 "contentType": "html"
 },
 "mentions": [
 {
 "id": 0,
 "mentionText": "Review alert",
 "mentioned": {
 "tag": {
 "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.teamworkTagIdentity",
 "id": "19:c5f21d155d6d48709a99f2f664b6441d@thread.tacv2",
 "displayName": "Review alert"
 }}}]
}

 

And the URL:

But I am getting the error message:

channel.displayName cannot be null or whitespace. (Parameter 'channel.displayName')

    It looks like I have the same displayName as the channel, but this might not be the issue:

    Hi @shavora,

     

    Can you try this body payload instead? 

    I changed tag to conversation and added the conversationIdentityType property to it as well.

     

     

    {
     "importance": "urgent",
     "body": {
     "content": "Check this out!<br>Tag: <at id=\"0\">Review alert</at>",
     "contentType": "html"
     },
     "mentions": [
     {
     "id": 0,
     "mentionText": "Review alert",
     "mentioned": {
     "conversation": {
     "id": "19:c5f21d155d6d48709a99f2f664b6441d@thread.tacv2",
     "displayName": "Review alert",
     "conversationIdentityType": "channel" 
     }
    }}]
    }

    good idea, but it gave the same result:

    I made a manual mentions and checked how it looked:

    "mentions": [
     {
     "id": 0,
     "mentionText": "Review alert",
     "mentioned": {
     "application": null,
     "device": null,
     "user": null,
     "tag": null,
     "conversation": {
     "id": "19:c5f21d155d6d48709a99f2f664b6441d@thread.tacv2",
     "displayName": "Review alert",
     "conversationIdentityType": "channel"
     }
     }
     }
     ]

    Hi @shavora,

     

    Just double checked the body payload in Graph Explorer (https://aka.ms/ge). The payload should be valid. Try and test over there yourself as well, with the same payload. Don't forget to logon to Graph Explorer btw 😁

     

    Maybe it has something to do with the Office 365 Groups Send an HTTP request action (the v1 one, not the v2).

     

    In the meantime I would stick with the Invoke an HTTP request for now. That one should work (tested it yesterday).

     

    Below are my tests from Graph Explorer (different team id & channel id).
