                "emoji": true
            }
        },
        {

In the given code 'text type' must be "type": "mrkdwn" to make use of the 'mentions'.

   {
        "type": "section",
        "text": {
            "type": "mrkdwn",
            "text": "<!here>",
            "emoji": true
        }
    }
