Post a Comment with a Mention

Make call or use the ConnectApiHelper repository to post a comment with a mention.

You can post comments with mentions two ways. Use the ConnectApiHelper repository on GitHub to write a single line of code, or use this example, which calls postCommentToFeedElement(communityId, feedElementId, comment, feedElementFileUpload).

String communityId = null;
String feedElementId = '0D5D0000000KtW3';

ConnectApi.CommentInput commentInput = new ConnectApi.CommentInput();
ConnectApi.MentionSegmentInput mentionSegmentInput = new ConnectApi.MentionSegmentInput();
ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput messageBodyInput = new ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput();
ConnectApi.TextSegmentInput textSegmentInput = new ConnectApi.TextSegmentInput();

messageBodyInput.messageSegments = new List<ConnectApi.MessageSegmentInput>();

textSegmentInput.text = 'Does anyone in this group have an idea? ';
messageBodyInput.messageSegments.add(textSegmentInput);

mentionSegmentInput.id = '005D00000000oOT';
messageBodyInput.messageSegments.add(mentionSegmentInput);

commentInput.body = messageBodyInput;

ConnectApi.Comment commentRep = ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.postCommentToFeedElement(communityId, feedElementId, commentInput, null);
