How to mention user in slack.client

Question

This might be a simple question, but I can not get it work.

I am using Slack Python Api to mention a user in a channel, and I am referring to the document here, http

Answer 1

After a little bit exploration, I got the solution which is quite simple. I don't know how I could miss it.

message = sc.api_call(
  'chat.postMessage',
  link_names=1,
  channel='#channelname',
  text='@someone This is a test.'
  )

use the option link_names=1 to link channels or user names automatically in the text message. This will do the trick.

Thank you everyone.
