Flow is sending multiple adaptive cards in a loop

Posted on by Departed

I created a simple Flow to watch for keywords in a Teams channel and reply with an adaptive card. It works but it doesn't just post once, it continues to post the adaptive card until I turn off the Flow.

I only have 2 conditions, When keywords are mentioned (trigger), and Post adaptive card and wait for a response.

Hi @Departed,

I see the text of your adaptive card you are posting also contains the keyword Project. I would suggest building in a check to ignore messages which are posted by flow bot to trigger the flow.

You could use a Get message details action and check if the from field is from an application instead of a user.

Below is an example

Expression for MessageId of first value which is used in the Get Message Details action

first(triggerOutputs()?['body/value'])['messageId']

Expression to check if application property is empty. Which should mean it is not flow bot.

empty(body('Get_message_details')['from']['application'])

I am trying to figure out a workaround for when the keyword is also mentioned in the adaptive cared. I don't want to simply write a unique keyword. I actually WANT the trigger keyword(s) to be listed within the adaptive card survey, but that of course triggers an endless loop that posts in the group chat over and over and over. I'm very green and need a step by step of possible.

I think the only way behind it is to have a bot that screens the info, or detect if the bot posted the message with "Get Message Details," and then write stuff into the JSON. I'm not smart enough though, lol.
