Create a Chatter FeedItem using Visual Workflow containing @Mention

I know that it is possible to create a FeedItem using Flow (as I have done so!), but is it possible to create an @mention in the body of that FeedItem?

 

I have tried doing @[{!varManagerName}], as well as using just the Id and another number of combinations, but it doesn't seem to want to work :)

 

 

If someone can help me figure it out, I would be ecstatic. This would be an absolutely perfect solution to a process issue we are currently experiencing!

Do you know if there is a way to @mention through the API? If so, then following the same approach should work. I would first check with the chatter team

@jessicamcq, Curious how you you created a Feeditem using Flow?  I am interested in a similar capability.

@jessimcq @Rajaram @Nickers I'm looking to do the exact same thing.  Did you get it working?
