Currently, MS Teams connector of logic apps has an action to "Post Adaptive Card and Wait for Response" where we can send out adaptive card with response buttons based on the requirement. Post button click from end user, the respective data is recorded in the action including user email address and the selected option. However, if the action times out, there is no data sent back to action like MessageId, etc which causes the flow to break.

Due to this, downstream workflow is unable to update the same message stating no response retrieved from the user since it is a webhook integration to MS teams. There are no ways to add unique value to timed out MS Teams message via Adaptive Card to retrieve the specific message using the unique value through "Get Messages".

We cannot determine based on the message created time since our workflow is sentinel trigger based and at the same time, we can get multiple messages hence filtering is required using unique value only.

If MS Teams connector is able to provision the data back like MessageId even in timed out scenarios, it would be good for automation flow to determine the state of next steps or adaptive card to support adding Subject or Summary to identify the message

Hello,

to retreive the message id you can use a parallel branch in combination with a variable.
The variable for the message id then can be used in the "Update an adaptive card in chat or channel".
Also you have to set the run after conditions to run after success and time out of the previous action.

Version 1 - Channel:
Get Messages gives you the ids of the last messages sent. To get the ID of the last message you have to use the following code in the Set variable action:

outputs('Get_messages')?['body/value']?[0]?['id']

Version 2 - Private Message:
For private messages you have to use a different action.
The send a microsoft graph http requests gets you the last message sent with the following url in combincation with a GET action.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/chats/{conversationID}/messages?top=1

You get the conversation ID by using the MS Teams action "Create a chat".

Then you have to set the variable using the following code:

body('Send_a_Microsoft_Graph_HTTP_request-GetMessageID')?['value']?[0]?['id']

The delay in both versions is being used to make sure the message has already been sent. Otherwise there sometime occured the problem that the message was not sent yet the message id was set to the message before.

In case of any questions, let me know.
Hope this helps you!
