03/08/2024, 6:13 PMHi, I need to tag a Slack user from a Prefect Slack automation, I tried to do it as it explains here, just with @User in the Body of the Automation action (Slack Block), but it doesn’t work, it just sends the Slack message with @User as a string.
Anyone managed to tag a Slack user from an automation? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
