Creating a flow from Planner: value assignments assigned to, Teams Chat with @mention of assigned person.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm trying to get a flow that when a project is coming due it will post a message in chat (which I have completed correctly) but will @mention the person who the task is assigned to in Teams.

John Doe is the person that is assigned to the task and it is due on June 19th. I would like a post to teams that shows:

@JohnDoe(Team Mention) your task "Report for NASA" is coming due on June 19th.

When I use "Value assignments assigned to" I get the ID code but cant get it to convert to @mention in Teams.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe you could try to add a Get user profile (V2) Action.

I have made a test for your reference.
{ "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.0", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "size": "Medium", "weight": "Bolder", "style": "heading", "wrap": true, "text": "@<at>@{outputs('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['body/mail']}</at>(Team Mention): your task Report for NASA is coming due on June 19th." } ] }
Result Screenshot:

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you please provide the setting for the Post adaptive card in a chat or channel Action?
In addition, maybe you could try as below:
<p>@<at>Dynamic Content</at>(Team Mention): your task "Dynamic Content" is coming due on Dynamic Content.</p>

I tried your simpler "post a message to chat or channel" and still received a "BADREQUEST" once ran. Below are screenshots of the flow with the errors. Again, thank you for looking into this.

In Get User Profile (V2) I am adding in "value assignments assigned to user id", just incase that was needed.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Sorry i could not reproduce the error, your flow looks fine.
Based on the error message: Message mention text needs to be specified , I found 2 similar cases, hope it helps.
