You can use the @ symbol to manually mention users in a Teams message. By using Power Automate flow, you can also mention multiple users in a team channel.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to tag multiple users in a Teams message using Power Automate.
Tag Multiple Users in Teams Message using Power Automate
Below, I have a SharePoint list ‘Task Tracker’ with the following data mentioned in the table.
| Column Name | Column Type |
|---|---|
| Task Name | Title – Renamed to Task Name |
| Start Date | Date and Time |
| End Date | Date and Time |
| Task Status | Choice – Initiated, Pending, Submitted |
| Task Assigned To | Person – Allow multiple selections |
I wanted to post a notification message to the Teams Channel by mentioning the assigned users to complete their task, whose task status is in Pending Mode.
Now, let’s create a scheduled cloud flow that will trigger daily and check the task status.
- On the Power Automate Home page, select the Scheduled cloud flow that will run daily. Define the parameters as below:
- Interval – Select interval as 1
- Frequency – Choose frequency as Day
- After that, take Get items action to filter the SharePoint list items whose status is pending. Provide the below filter query:
TaskStatus eq 'Pending'
- Then, add a Select action to take the person column values from the SharePoint list.
- From: Choose to add Task Assigned To from the Get items action.
- Map: concat(‘<at>’,item()?[‘Email’],'</at>’)
For each loop will be added by taking body/value of get items action.
- Inside the loop, choose a “Post message in a chat or channel” action. Provide the parameters such as Post as, Post In, Team, Channel, and Message.
That’s it. Now the flow is ready. We can test it manually once.
- Now, click on the Save and Test button.
- When the flow runs successfully, you can see the Teams channel message by mentioning multiple users. You can have a look at the image for reference.
This way, you can tag multiple users in a Microsoft Teams message by using a Power Automate flow.
