How to "@mention" user in chatter post from Process Builder?

Hello, I have a process builder set up that posts a chatter notification to the Owner of the Lead when a certain custom field gets updated. How can I @mention that user in the body of the chatter post FROM process builder? The reason I need to do so is because I want the user to receive an alert (both a bell on the chatter and an email) when this chatter post gets posted?  FYI the person is always the User-Owner of the Lead record. Your help is greatly appreciated.
