    the sample is taken from the Microsoft Documentation:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/cards/cards-format?tabs=adaptive-md%2Cconnector-html#sample-adaptive-card-with-a-mention

      cschuster - I ran a flow manually with the following JSONs and it worked. I tried with both email ID and User ID. Please try with the below JSON and it should work.

       

      ID can be fetched from the activity as follows

      from: {
      id: '29:15fREhoUuf6vVCOuaJYVH-AB6QXXX',
      name: 'MOD Administrator',
      aadObjectId: 'XXXX'
      }

       

       

       

      {
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "Hello new test <at>Mod</at>"
      }
    ],
    "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "version": "1.0",
    "msteams": {
      "entities": [
        {
          "type": "mention",
          "text": "<at>Mod</at>",
          "mentioned": {
            "id": "admin@m365x654992.onmicrosoft.com",
            "name": "Mod"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
}
      {
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Hi <at>Mod</at>"
}
],
"$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"version": "1.0",
"msteams": {
"entities": [
{
"type": "mention",
"text": "<at>Mod</at>",
"mentioned": {
"id": "4exxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx8",
"name": "Mod"
}
}
]
}
}

        not working for me 😞

         

        tried with my (primary) email, my default email (onmicrosoft.com) and your original json....

         

         

         

        but a simple json is working fine:

        {
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "Hello new test"
      }
    ],
    "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "version": "1.4"
}
