Hi,

We want to apply this feature to Teams bots.

Automatically start a chatbot conversation - Power Virtual Agents | Microsoft Docs

Hi,

Can we initiate a conversation with our users without them having to open the bot first?

I want to implement this feature on Teams.

Much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Dipankar

Hi @dsutradhar ,

Not yet for PVA.

If you want to use this functionality, I recommend you to use scheduled workflows (Power Automate) + Adaptive Cards

[dsutradhar]

Thanks for the suggestion @renatoromao ..

I want the message to be sent from my bot account instead of Power Automate Flow bot. Is there a way to do that?

[renatoromao]

@dsutradhar ,

Look at this documentation:

Overview of Adaptive Cards for Teams - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

I want this to!

Hopefully it will be released soon! At this moment I doing it with an adaptive card from the flow bot, but that's not 'user friendly' as I want.

This is already scheduled on wave2 coming up in October.
