Do you mean that you want to notify the assignee(s) when the automation is run?  
Notify Assignees is one of the available actions in an automation:

Or do you mean something else?

I would like to do it via script action because then I can set some conditions like:

if ( something is true) =\> comment with mention person a  
else =\> comment with mention person b

With the standard notify action I am bound to the filter options on top.

Do you mean that you want to add a comment (that mentions a user) to an entity?

In general, the contents of a comment can be described using markdown, and mentioning a user is done using the following format:

`[[#@xxxxxx/yyyyyy]]`

where xxxxxx is the ID of the user database and yyyyyy is the ID of the user.

I presume that you are comfortable with using scripting to create/update comments.
