Hey @John Michael Flores 

Welcome to the community!

I did some search and found that you'll need to use 'memberID' when you want to mention someone from the Slack webhook.

For example, I have a user name Syahrul with 'memberID' of 'U88271KS', I'll pass this in the message as the following example:

          script:
            - echo "Notify someone in Slack"
            - pipe: atlassian/slack-notify:2.0.0
              variables:
                  WEBHOOK_URL: '<Webhook>'
                  MESSAGE: 'Hey <@U88271KS>' 

This create @Syahrul notification in my Slack test channel as expected. You can check the guide  here to find the Slack 'memberID'.

Cheers,
Syahrul

Thanks for the answer, how can I BOLD the message?

Hey @John Michael Flores 

If you looking into formatting your Slack message, I would suggest you check the Slack API formatting page below:

* https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#visual-styles

That said, you can use *BOLD* in your message to bold a text message.

Cheers,
