Game changer!!! I almost want to cancel my plans tonight and try this out instead! Jk! 🙃 Looking forward to opening the complete solution soon to understand the @mention version. Thank you Reza for all that you do for this community of Power Platform learners!
Thanks for the heads up Reza. I’ll try my best, and at least now I know it’s possible. This may end up being one of my three requests for training sessions after Power Automate!
Another great video Reza. The @ mention is great but the email notification redirects people to the list instead of the app which isn’t ideal in our use case. We'll likely end up reproducing a similar experience by using another list to store our comments instead. We might even go nuts and attempt a reply button to keep them in threads 🎉
Another option would be to use the @mention logic in power apps but not actually post it as an @mention in comments. Rather send a custom notification from PAuto
Thanks! I have not tried with doc libs. I dont see the same comments feature there. There is Office comments within files in libraries. There could be an option to get that, but not something I have explored.
Great and well explained sir. I was wondering if it's possible to continue with a part 2 where you can show us how to add a counter for number of unread comments/ messages in the gallery like in whatsapp unread messages. Is that possible sir?

Hello Reza, awsome idea 💡just curious to know, we do have similar feature with MS List and even we can use Jira as well to keep track of issues, may I know the most benefit of this?
Great video! I have learned so much from your videos. I am having one issue on the OnVisible: Set(varComments, GetandPostComments.Run("Get",Table1.Selected.ID).response). What is Table1 referring to in your demo video? I am not able to get this to work on the Power App I created from a SharePoint list.
Hi Reza! Awesome work. thanks a lot. Just one question. You see a way how to make mentioning possible in the PowerApp directly? I am neither able to see mentioning in the app, nor I am able to mention somebody in the app.

I’ve been following you for a couple years and have a mate in Malawi also really loves your work and would benefit from lessons. I’ve been trying to assist him but I too am still learning. The exchange rate makes it very difficult from an affordability perspective. Is it possible to obtain a discount for interested parties in Malawi?
Thank you so much for supporting my work over the years. I truly appreciate it, and I’m glad to hear that your mate in Malawi enjoys the content too. Regarding the membership, the pricing is set uniformly across all members, as UA-cam doesn't offer an option for regional-based pricing at this time. I understand that this can be challenging due to the exchange rate, but I hope the content continues to bring value to you both. I tried to build this Q/A doc that would help address common questions on memberships thepoweraddicts-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/rdorrani_thepoweraddicts_onmicrosoft_com/EbvjdBY80QRGkT6svJEmzZwBz64PNYQDRvKHm8eRHEYe6Q?rtime=GVrSLBDk3Eg
Looks good! Do you have a solution on how to build a fully functional @mention function in Power Apps? I have almost got it by showing a people picker when typing "@" character, but it's not fully functional like other chat apps. Then I used rich text control instead of textinput which means I had to workaround html also...
So each time you open a item the flow needs to run to get the comments? If yes, is there anyway to load this comments without using a flow, less delay and less calls
Only way to call SharePoint rest api using standard connectors is via flow. You could also not call flow when item is viewed and have user click a button to load the comments on demand
@5:23 . I guess I just don't trust the Microsoft Power Automate team (I think that's actually yours Reza) to support a "drop down list" properly. So Imma use text until a very unspecified future date where I trust that your team isn't going to mess up the interfaces (again).
@6:45 ...again.... Use _api/web/lists(guid'*guid_of_your_list_here*') instead of _api/web/lists/getbytitle. Naming of lists changes too often within SharePoint and the reference can break. Using the GUID ensures you can have an unbreakable link to the list. Don't get me wrong, this is good info to share, but I need my stuff to work reliably.
Because thats what the json returns. A lot more work is needed to get the details of the mentioned user. Video description has link to download entire solution (members only - check description for details)
Brilliant! And excellently explained! Thanks so much, Reza!
Awesome! Very happy to hear the feedback.
Awesome Sir Reza
Thanks
I love your excellent R and D. You help us see what is possible.
Thank You so much
v useful Reza, love the way you build on prior tutorial solutions, so its easier to digest. Thanks so much
Glad you like it!
Trying my best to keep tutorials crisp and to the point.
Thanks raza. I soent the day learning graph api from you. My search is out of control now!
You're the best bro
Thanks so much! I try my best to bring something new and unique each time.

How do you add the date field? I’m assuming it’s a this item.value but not sure the next command, would it be createddate?
ThisItem.Value.createdDate
To format it use: Text(DateTimeValue( ThisItem.Value.createdDate),DateTimeFormat.ShortDateTime)
@@RezaDorrani amazing! Thank you
Reza can we achieve same using graph api in powerapp without integrating flow
Not something I have explored, hence not sure
I was trying to do this but using json, I had a hard time doing it
I hope this was easier
The comments are coming as null in the response. Any suggestions?
Can you please help in this

@5:23 . I guess I just don't trust the Microsoft Power Automate team (I think that's actually yours Reza) to support a "drop down list" properly. So Imma use text until a very unspecified future date where I trust that your team isn't going to mess up the interfaces (again).
The team does not work for me. If you dont trust the dropdown, then you are free to use the text option.

Using the GUID ensures you can have an unbreakable link to the list. Don't get me wrong, this is good info to share, but I need my stuff to work reliably.
Good point. However I am putting out a video to ensure things are explained in simple terms.
Thanks Reza, why am I getting '@mention{0} just testing something dont responded'
Because thats what the json returns. A lot more work is needed to get the details of the mentioned user.
