When sending chat messages via the API (POST
/v3/workspaces/{id}/chat/channels/{id}/messages), there is no way to
create native @mentions that trigger user notifications.
The @Name markdown format works correctly when
messages are sent from the ClickUp web UI, but when the same format is
sent via the API, it renders as a regular profile link (blue underline)
instead of a native mention tag (green highlight with notification).
We tested all available body parameters (content, tagged_users,
followers, assignee) and none of them produce native mentions.
Use case: We have an automated daily digest bot that posts team status
updates to product channels. We need to tag specific team members for
action items, but currently the bot cannot notify them.
Expected behavior: Either the @Name format should
work the same way via API as it does via the web UI, or a new body
parameter (e.g. mentioned_users) should be added to register mentions
when creating a message.
