Hello Dhanlaxmi Jayapal (Tata Consultancy Services Limi) ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to tag a user in the email body using Azure Logic Apps instead of using Team, by using the "@" symbol to mention users.

There are couples of a few steps to take:

1. You can use a Variable or a Compose action to build your HTML and create the well-formatted HTML content template that includes the user mentions, like this:

    <p>Hello <span style="color: #0078D4;">@Jayapal</span>, please review the document.</p>
   

2. In the same Compose action, use the Expression tab to replace the {User} placeholder with the actual user's name. For example:

    "<p>Hello, <b>@{triggerOutputs()?['headers']['x-ms-file-name']}</b>!</p>"
   

   Replace triggerOutputs()?['headers']['x-ms-file-name'] with the appropriate expression or variable containing the user's name.
3. The you will use Send Mail V2
