How to reference Post an Adaptive Card to a Teams channel and wait for a response

[ALBordelon]

I am struggling to reference the response from "Post an Adaptive Card to a Teams channel and wait for a response"

My flow is simple:

• When a new item is added to a list
• Post a Card to get an Email Address for the Assigned To
• Update the list item with the Email address in a text field

In my card I have one data collection field: ac_AssignedTo

I have tried the following to update the text field:

(‘Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_channel_and_wait_for_a_response’)?[‘body’][‘data’][‘ac_AssignedTo’]

(‘Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_channel_and_wait_for_a_response’)?[‘body/data/ac_AssignedTo’]

Each time I get Invalid Expression

I ran a test and in the Body I did get the following output:

I also tried shortening the name of the Adaptive Card action and still the same result.

Hi @ALBordelon 

Try following expression:

body('Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_user_and_wait_for_a_response')?['data']?['ac_AssignedTo']

Hi @ALBordelon 

I had created a sample flow to post an Adaptive Card when a new item is created. I had captured the output of the AC in a variable. Please look at the screenshot below.

 Following is the expression used

body('Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_channel_and_wait_for_a_response')?['data']?['myName']

Hope it helps, please like it or mark it as a solution if it resolves ur clarification or issue

Hi!

JUst as a general comment, I am afraid output from an adaptive card are not available as Dynamic Content yet, but you can access them with expressions by investigating its outputs:

The structure of the Adaptive Card in my example does not match the one you are using, butthe overall output should look similar

Now, for simplicity, let's assume I recall my "Post an adaptiveCard as FlowBot to a channell wait for for a response Tag" action block as "PostACandWait'.

I can access the whole object by adding the following expression:

outputs('PostACandWait')?['body']

Now on my particular Adaptive Card design, I can also access the comment provided by the responder by using the following expression

outputs('PostACandWait')?['body']?['data']?['comment']

Hope this helps

Hi @ALBordelon,

It is wired, I try to reproduce the Flow you created, and I find the I could get the ac_AssignedTo dynamic content in the following action directly, could you please share the adaptive card in the Post action?

In the compose function i have the following:

output('PostCard')?['body']?['data']?['ac_AssignedTo']

You can then use the output in your next steps.

Unfortunately I see none of the dynamic actions you're seeing, @v-litu-msft 😞 Are you on some more advanced preview track compared to the rest of us plebs? 😛
