- MatthewJamesDavisIron ContributorHi all, just finished off a solution so you can use @mentions in Microsoft Planner. Check it out on my blog (includes a free download of the automate with no catch!). https://www.nomorebadmondays.com/post/mentions-in-microsoft-planner

I've never tried using Power Automate, do you have a guide somewhere that shows how to set this smart solution up?
- MatthewJamesDavisIron ContributorHappy to put one together for you. All i ask is for some feedback once you've tried and tested. I'll put a guide together tonight and post here tomorrow.. if any issues just drop me a message at email address removed for privacy reasons.
- Pirate247Copper ContributorHow do we get Microsoft to enable or put @mentions on the development path. I see lots of people requesting this functionality, from well before the pandemic.

Hi there, just posted a brand new version my solution giving the ability to use an @mention type feature and notify the user automatically via Teams. This works in the new and old Planner. Take a look via below link to the community post.

Deleted Just two cents from a software engineer: Create a module "comment", implement all features and reuse it everywhere.

@mention is not supported in Planner- CityKidzITBrass Contributor
jcgonzalezmartin - how about in the New Planner? Users have been screaming for this capability since before the pandemic.
