Is it possible to retweet other Twitter users?

I’ve set up a couple of zaps to retweet twitter users. For some reason it doesn’t put the ‘@’ in front of the account I’m retweeting.
Where have I gone wrong?

Hi @tartanthing 

Using Zapier as a Twitter Auto-Responder

A Zap that auto-responds to search mentions is a violation of Twitter's policies for automation.

Twitter’s policy doesn’t allow replies or mentions in response to search mentions. If your Zap has a Search Mention trigger and an action that sends a Tweet to that user’s @username, the Tweet will be posted but the @ will be removed.

Twitter’s policies for automation don't allow @replies in response to search mentions. Here’s a link that discusses Twitter’s policies for using automations with their platform: https://support.twitter.com/articles/76915#replies-mentions.
