I want to notify only tag the people in the specified channel who created a tasks on VSTS under the "created by" filter. I added the email and name in the created by filter but that does not seem to work. Any thoughts?

The reason for that is the Get mention token for user only accepts UPN i.e. it should be email@domain.com not Name <email@domain.com>

Please click Accept as Solution if it resolved your problem or give it a Thumbs Up if it helped you in anyway this will allow other people to search correct solutions effectively.

Thanks,

@Rahber the get mention token for user is not having any issues the flow is working as expected, my question is on the first step how do I filter by specific people under the "created by" section

btw this is the split function

split(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/fields/System_CreatedBy'], '<')[1], '>')[0]

As you can see in the output it does not have the "created by" filter

Found a work around, which was to use a condition and used the created by to filter out the users. The one issue with this is the users are hardcoded.
