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": {

}
}
]
}
}
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" }- Can you please share your flow package zip?
unfortunately no, i get an error every time i try to export the flow (even for a fresh created flow):
