Adaptive cards in PVA

[Anonymous]

According to this link from MS it is possible to create Adaptive cards in PVA.

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerVirtualAgentsSamples/tree/master/BuildYourOwnCanvasSamples

Can someone explain to me how can I recieve the data in PVA if a user has entered data in for e.g. a adaptive card (for e.g. input form).

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

You need to implement the Bot Framework to do it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/advanced-use-skills

Using only PVA, you cannot use Adaptive cards yet, the idea has been created here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Virtual-Agents-Ideas/Adaptive-Cards/idi-p/399095

@renatoromao  Thanks!

So a Skill is able to return an Adaptive card to PVA - which in turn can return it to the chat client?

Is that correct?

I had read that link before - but i dont want to return an Image - instead I want to return an input form.

Yes @Anonymous !

If you got any limitations using a channel, you can report on the forum or create an idea in the community.

@Anonymous ,

You can do all things that are shown here: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerVirtualAgentsSamples/tree/master/BuildYourOwnCanvasSamples

It's a real case and you can see this case using Bot Framework: https://powervirtualagents.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/helping-organizations-provide-real-time-information-about-covid-19-with-microsoft-power-virtual-agents/

OK. I have now finally managed to create a Skill in add it to PVA - after quite many hours struggle 🙂

Now I want to show the user an input form (https://adaptivecards.io/samples/InputForm.html)

One question @renatoromao ,

How can I capture the users input values from the form in the PVA?

[renatoromao]

Congrats @Anonymous !!! 🙂

Did you try to use the input form code?

If yes, where did you test your PVA? (which channel)

Thanks!

As of now I´m just trying to display any adaptive card in the PVA.

@renatoromao Do you by any chance have a working example? 

Thanks a million! 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'm starting a series of posts and videos (1 video per day) to explain better how can you use the Adaptive Cards, Multiple Choices, and a lot of things, using the Bot Framework Composer integration.
