@mentions using API

Hi Scott! Great news - we have recently released the functionality, which should help to trigger @mentions via API. In order to add @mention, you would need to initiate POST request as described here, using the following syntax for 'text' parameter: 

<a class="stream-user-id avatar" rel="userID">@Username</a>

Please find the related documentation here. 

Pavel, is that only for Tasks, or can we do it for Folders, as well?

And is there a way to do it with the actual User ID, or does it have to be done by name?

UPDATE: Nevermind. "Yes" is the answer. But the API page you mentioned does imply that it's for tasks only.

Can you mention a group like this?

Hi Ivan Matosyan 👋 I don't see this as one of the options in the Group methods in the documentation, but I'm not an API expert, so please let me know if you'd like me to ask the Support team to reach out to you! 🙋
