 * *URL:* set a field `url` to the desired URL.
 * *Emoji:* set field `emoji` to the desired emoji as a string and set field `emojiSize` with size of the emoji (`small`, `medium`, `large`)
+* *Mentions:* set field `mentions` to an array of objects. Objects should have the `tag` field set to the text that should be highlighted in the mention. The object should have an `id` field, where the `id` is the user id of the person being mentioned. The instance of `tag` that is highlighted is determined through indexOf, an optional `fromIndex`
+can be passed in to specify the start index to start searching for the `tag` text
+in `body` (default=0). (See below for an example.)
 
 Note that a message can only be a regular message (which can be empty) and optionally one of the following: a sticker, an attachment or a url.
