    I am posting a message on a chat group using webhook. I wonder if I can post a message with @-mention using json format. Apparently [@] does not work. Any available formatting?

    i.e.

    { "message": "[@Yourname] sample text", "metadata": "visitor" }

    Sorry for the delay, missed this one. That syntax is shorthand that the UI expands. If you edit your comment after tagging someone, you'll see that this:

    [@Yourname]

    gets expanded to something like:

    [@Yourname](#/person/58ac6da13b85a31ea817748c)

    That ID can be grabbed from the URL when looking at a person's profile or is user portion of the person's jabber ID if you retrieve their user config via api.

    @tim.smith I did not notice that I can see the actual syntax by edit. It works now. Thank you very much!
