Mention a person in a Linkedin post returns error 400: Person URN ID in commentary field is invalid

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a post on Linkedin and metion a person using the little text syntax (ex. @Jane Doe).

For an organization it works well and I am able to tag the company. In the case of a person it return me the error :

have you already experienced something similar?

I am getting the id from an external API, I used both the id and the urn but it stil returns the same error

I can succesfully tag the id of an organization but not of a person. do you know why?

Hi @Ciro_05 Have you tried this formatting?

Hope this helps

hello @Lauren_Moineau, thank you for the reply.

Yes I have tried urn:li:person:{id} ( the digit code) and urn:li:person:{urn} (the alphanumeric) and still the same error : 400: Person URN ID in commentary field is invalid.
