Connect API : Post Feed to chatter with @mention using Apex

 The ConnectApi namespace (also called Chatter in Apex) provides classes for accessing the same data available in Chatter REST API. Use Chatter in Apex to create custom Chatter experiences in Salesforce.

public static void postfeed(){
ConnectApi.FeedItemInput feedItemInput = new ConnectApi.FeedItemInput();
ConnectApi.MentionSegmentInput mentionSegmentInput = new ConnectApi.MentionSegmentInput();
ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput messageBodyInput = new ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput();
ConnectApi.TextSegmentInput textSegmentInput = new ConnectApi.TextSegmentInput();
messageBodyInput.messageSegments = new List<ConnectApi.MessageSegmentInput>();
/*Specify the user id for @mention. You can create multiple ConnectApi.MentionSegmentInput if
there are multiple users.
*/
mentionSegmentInput.id = '00528000001BOFC';
messageBodyInput.messageSegments.add(mentionSegmentInput);
textSegmentInput.text = 'Could you take a look?';
messageBodyInput.messageSegments.add(textSegmentInput);
feedItemInput.body = messageBodyInput;
feedItemInput.feedElementType = ConnectApi.FeedElementType.FeedItem;
//SubjectId indicates to which record this feed item will be tagged to.
feedItemInput.subjectId = '00128000002LcDW';
ConnectApi.FeedElement feedElement = ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.postFeedElement(null,feedItemInput );
