How to mention a user and a channel inside an adaptive card sent to teams?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 46
Hi Folks,
 
I'm trying to send a card to a teams channel via power automate. I also need to mention another channel in the same team and one or more users. I couldn't find a method to send a message and adaptive card together, so I'm trying to include the message as part of adaptive card itself, but it needs the mention as well. Which is not working so far with below syntax given by chat gpt:
 
{
  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.4",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Hello <at>General</at>! Here is your update."
    }
  ],
  "msteams": {
    "entities": [
      {
        "type": "mention",
        "text": "<at>General</at>",
        "mentioned": {
          "id": "19:channelID@thread.skype",
          "name": "General"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
 
Above code is throwing resource not found error:

Can any one help?

Thanks

    Thank you for sharing the article. The last method mentioned in that blog was in line with my requirement. Unfortunately, the mention (for channel and user) was not working in the output:
     
     
    It could've been a miss from my end, but the usage of graph API gave me the idea to use same to include both a message and an adaptive card together in the chat (which is what I needed in the first place). So below code is working fine for me so far (body of the graph API request):
     
    {
        "subject": "Adaptive Cards test",
        "body": {
            "contentType": "html",
            "content": "<p><at id=\"1\">Gen</at> - Please join me in congratulating <at id=\"0\">Robin Roy</at></p><attachment id=\"d9ca1229-c4bf-48d1-b43a-4e54f5e42e39\"></attachment>"
        },
        "attachments": [
            {
                "id": "d9ca1229-c4bf-48d1-b43a-4e54f5e42e39",
                "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
                "contentUrl": null,
                "content": "{\r\n  \"$schema\": \"http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json\",\r\n  \"type\": \"AdaptiveCard\",\r\n  \"version\": \"1.6\",\r\n  \"body\": [\r\n    {\r\n      \"type\": \"TextBlock\",\r\n      \"id\": \"MentionTextBlock\",\r\n      \"text\": \"Fun with mentions!\",\r\n      \"weight\": \"Bolder\",\r\n      \"size\": \"Medium\"\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"type\": \"TextBlock\",\r\n      \"text\": \"This is user mention.

                        "userIdentityType": "aadUser"
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "id": 1,

            }
        ]
    }
