Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I can successfully send an adaptive card from Power Automate to Teams, but I'd like the card to generate an @mention. I have the JSON code for adaptive cards but in order to @mention a user, I need their Teams user ID. How can I determine a user's Teams ID if I am not using a bot? See: Sample Adaptive card with a mention

{
 "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
 "content": {
 "type": "AdaptiveCard",
 "body": [
 {
 "type": "TextBlock",
 "text": "Hi <at>John Doe</at>"
 }
 ],
 "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
 "version": "1.0",
 "msteams": {
 "entities": [
 {
 "type": "mention",
 "text": "<at>John Doe</at>",
 "mentioned": {
 "id": "29:123124124124",
 "name": "John Doe"
 }
 }
 ]
 }
 }
}

To determine user's ID in Teams requires PowerShell and the Teams PS module.

Connect-MicrosoftTeams

Retrieve Group IDs for Sites a User is Assigned:
Get-Team -User first.last@abc.com
Use Group ID to Retrieve All User IDs for a Teams Site:
Get-TeamUser -GroupId INSERT-GROUP-ID-HERE
This will list all user IDs for a specific Teams site. This user ID is the same across all Teams site in that tenant.

The JSON code for adaptive cards requires a user's Teams user ID for using an @mention in a Power Automate as shown in the initial post.
