Issue with @mention functionality in SharePoint Page Comments

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by bart_hek

Hello 🙂

I am currently working on making Comments on a SharePoint / Site Pages and incorporating the @mention feature to notify specific users from the O365 directory. I have tried sending an HTTP request to SharePoint/Site Pages/Comments, see the connector:

While the text is successfully posted, I am encountering an issue with the @mention{} function. See the sample Comment:

Also see the Raw Output of HTTP request: the "mentions" field passes as an empty array "[ ]". Eventually that's why the @mention{} function fails to activate and is rendered as text/string ...@mention{0}....

Appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue.

While I am currently using HTTP requests, I am open to other approaches if they offer a more effective solution facilitating @mention{} functionality.

Thank you in advance for time and consideration.

@bart_hek ,

It was an intrigue question. So I made a test on my side. It worked using ...

{ "text":"Hello, @mention{0} this is a test ...", "mentions":[ { "email":"gabi.balaban@itassist.eu" } ] }

Give it a try ...

Hope it helps !

Hello! 🙂 Thank you for replying so quick.

I tried the JSON from your snippet. I only swapped your email with my email. (BTW, you use &#123 and &#125, {} instead.)

Unfortunately I the problem remains unsolved, see this:

1) Can you show what do you have in the Advanced Parameters? FYI, for the sake of experiment I have removed my entries, leaving Adv Params blank. This has caused a change in the Raw Output. Although the "results" is still an empty array [] it seems that it was actually trying to look me up.

2) The other difference I see is that your URI contains getbyid while my contains getbytitle. Not sure of this could make a difference. I would exclude as a potential root cause because it's actually pointing at the right Page, and the right section of it. Thoughts on this?

3) Last: you mind sharing your Raw Output?- this section at the bottom where mentions kick in?
