Notify a tag group in Teams Activity

Hello, 

I'm wodering if it possible to notify a teams group using the Teams Activity in Fabric Data Factory

Thanks,

Yes, there is a Teams activity you can add into a data pipeline. You can either send a message to a group chat or make a post in a Teams channel based on the success or failure of a pipeline activity. These messages can also be dynamic. 

Here's some documentation you can look at: Teams activity (Preview) - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

Thanks, do you know if it is possible to tag people? Or even tags that will in turn notify users within the teams tag/group. 

Just posting onto the channel isn't triggering any notifications in teams.

As of right now, it appears that the ability to tag an individual inside of the aforementioned Teams activity via rich formatting (i.e @exampleusername) isn't supported.

It is worth mentioning that the Teams Activity is still technically in preview, so this capability may show up one day. However, it wouldn't hurt to submit an official idea: aka.ms/FabricIdeas
