Currently, engagements (notes) created through the API can include mentions using adequate HTML tags, but unlike engagements with mentions created directly through the HubSpot UI, they do not trigger a notification for the user mentioned.

There are several posts in the forum asking for this specific feature, like [this](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/How-to-add-mentioned-on-Note-create-on-the-API/m-p/365982), [this](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Is-it-possible-to-now-mention-someone-and-pin-a-note-via-the/m-p/267623), or [this one](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/How-to-mention-a-user-in-note-using-API/m-p/241150), so it is definitely a common use case, and it would add a lot of value to the Engagements API, since mentions are extremely useful for internal communication when they have an associated notification.
