Hello to everyone!

 

I have trouble in doing sth very simple. All I need is to create a link to a specific email address in a Teams message sent by PA.

I have tried to click on the link button and type the following:

 

Ilona_Maz_1-1659606194999.png

 But when I run the flow, the mailto:ilonamaz@gmail.com appears only as a text in the Teams message.

 

I am very grateful for your help!

 

Best,

 

Ilona

    Hi @David- ,

     

    Thank you for your message! The e-mail is outlook, I used gmail only as an example.

     

    I tried the mention action and it didn't work, because "the user cannot be found". Who knows why this time...

     

    But I found another solution, simple turning into code view and writing this line <at>user e-mail</at> 

     

    This then works! The user is tagged in the Teams message.

    Try using an @ mention since you are posting in Teams. @PieterVeenstra has come up with instructions to do this at How to @mention someone in Microsoft Teams using Power Automate (sharepains.com)

     

    Although., this will probably not work as I noticed the e-mail address is a gmail account.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

     

    I linked it as described above, switched to code view, saved and ran. But it didnt work. It redirects me to a blank webpage.

    @Anonymous  First include your link and then Switch to code view by clicking <> tab in body (right upper side). Save your flow and re run.
