There are also flow actions now that have mentions but I used them the day they came out and weren’t working but you might check there since you could have a flow monitor an email address etc. to cause it to trigger then post a message with mentions in a channel.
If I get some time somehow in near future I’ll see if they work now if you don’t get around to it :).
