Post a Feed Element with a Mention

Call a method or use the ConnectApiHelper repository to post a feed.

You can post feed elements with mentions two ways. Use the ConnectApiHelper repository on GitHub to write a single line of code, or use this example, which calls postFeedElement(communityId, feedElement).
