How do I mention a MS Teams "Tag" in a FactSet (Adaptive Card)

Question

Hi can I please have an example on how to use channel Tags as mentions for an adaptive card? It works directly in the channel by "@TAG_NAME"

However, in the code, I cant seem to get it to work in a fastest or Textblock, while using mentions or msteams.entities

To mention a Microsoft Teams “Tag” in an Adaptive Card, you need to use the msteams property within the card’s JSON payload. Here’s an example of how you can do this:

{
  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.2",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Hello @<at>TAG_NAME</at>!"
    }
  ],
  "msteams": {
    "entities": [
      {
        "type": "mention",
        "text": "<at>TAG_NAME</at>",
        "mentioned": {
          "id": "TAG_ID",
          "name": "TAG_NAME"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

In this example:

• Replace TAG_NAME with the name of your tag.
• Replace TAG_ID with the ID of your tag.
