Answer 1

If you want to @mention someone, that's still not available by the office365 plugin for jenkins

To get the user that started the build, see this answer

To get the committer's email, see this answer

If you really want to mention users, as I do, you can:

• if you know java, create a PR that solves this issue on the official repo

• if you don't know java, or can't spare the time, you will have to hack things together:

1. This is how you would use curl from a pipeline

2. Now you have to get the user is from the User graph api

3. Add the webhook as a credential on jenkins, like this:

So you can invoke it in the pipeline:

office365ConnectorSend message: "Hello", webhookUrl: credentials("wh-msteams-dev")

4. Send an adaptive card, which is the only type that supports mentions at the moment, here's a sample from the docs:

{
  "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
  "content": {
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "Hi <at>John Doe</at>"
      }
    ],
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "version": "1.0",
    "msteams": {
      "entities": [
        {
          "type": "mention",
          "text": "<at>John Doe</at>",
          "mentioned": {
            "id": "29:123124124124",
            "name": "John Doe"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

No, this is not trivial.

Yes, I'm also in pain by how bad this mention is achieved.

Disappointed, but not surprised. This is Microsoft Teams after all.

Please surive.
