@Mention someone in a planner comment

[MatiDerkonsito]

May i mention someone in a task? For example here: 
It's not letting me 😞 And i would find that really dealbreaking with the app!

Hi!
@mention is not supported in Planner

[#3]

@jcgonzalezmartin - how about in the New Planner?  Users have been screaming for this capability since before the pandemic.  

[#4]

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

[#5]

How 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 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

@MatthewJamesDavis 

I've never tried using Power Automate, do you have a guide somewhere that shows how to set this smart solution up?

[#8]

Happy 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.

@MatthewJamesDavisThank you so much! Really appreciate it!

@FridiHentze sorry for the delay in getting this to you! The guide to support you with installing the solution on Power Automate should be attached. Let me know how you get on 🙂

@MatthewJamesDavis - This looks very promising.  I followed the instructions in the PDF you sent to @FridiHentze, but simply entering my Plan Name failed; it couldn't find it.  So I tried copying the GroupID from my Planner URL, and that worked.  I get the email in the group, but then it fails to send a message in Teams.  This is the error that comes up:

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

@MatthewJamesDavisThank you so much for this thorough guide! I'm going to be looking at it this weekend and will report back!
