Mentions allow users to tag other users in posts. It's a powerful tool for fostering engagement and collaboration within your social application. With mentions, users can easily notify specific individuals or groups to new content or important updates. In the SDK, mentions can be implemented in a range of ways, depending on your application's needs and user experience. For more information about mentions, please refer to Mentions.

In this example, we show a text post with mention. However the pattern of adding mention to a post; is the same for all post types. You can apply the same creation process to the desired post type.
We provide developers with an efficient method for updating posts with mentions of specific users, you can easily add mentions to their post updates and but it will not notify the relevant users.
To remove mentions you can provide an empty JSON object for the metadata parameter, and an empty list for the mention users parameter. By doing so, You can easily remove mentions from the post content, while ensuring that the overall structure of the post remains intact.
When updating a text or video post with mentions, you can provide the JsonObject
for the metadata
parameter and provide the list of userId
for the mentionUsers
parameter.
