Need help with mentioning a user in a message reply

[ozdeadmeat]

Any idea what the syntax is to send a message back and mention a user? I have not been able to find anything that explains how to do this, any help would be appreciated.

Read my issue @ https://github.com/jorisvddonk/node-red-contrib-discord/issues/14 It explains how to mention a user

OK, quickest way is to mention the author.id

Here is a quick flow showing how mention works.
