Can jira post to slack with specific user callouts "@" by adding a comment?

Question

I am familiar with the basic jira + slack integration that allows for posting jira issue updates to a channel.

However, is there some way to make specific user callouts as part of those slack posts? e.g. I'd like to be able to post a comment like: "@UserName - please review this issue" and have that generate a slack post that does a specific slack user callout to "UserName"?

Answer 1

There is a given format to embed usernames in Slack.
https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#mentioning-users

<@userId>

P.S. text type must be 'mrkdwn' as it does not work with 'plain_text'

When mrkdwn

When plain_text
