Hi!

Can you please share a screenshot from your flow design, also from your Adaptive Card json design?

The error says Flow JSON parser found an unexpected character at line 43, position 18

Thanx!

Hi!

In the Adaptive Cards I have designed so far, I close body before declaring actions.

Not 100% sure this is the problem, but... my suggestion is to try this adaptive Card definition instead:

{
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "New Request",
"weight": "Bolder",
"size": "Large"
},
{
"type": "ColumnSet",
"columns": [
{
"type": "Column",
"width": "stretch",
"items": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['displayName']}",
"weight": "Bolder",
"wrap": true
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"spacing": "None",
"text": "@{body('Convert_time_zone')}",
"isSubtle": true,
"wrap": true
}
]
}
]
},
{
"type": "RichTextBlock",
"inlines": [
{
"type": "TextRun",
"text": "@{variables('varComments')}"
}
]
}

],

"actions": [

{
"type": "Action.OpenUrl",
"title": "Chat",
"url": "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['userPrincipalName']}"
},
{
"type": "Action.OpenUrl",
"title": "Email",
"url": "mailto:@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['mail']}"
}
]
}

Hope this helps

Hi,

I am still getting same error, This is not working only with MS Teams. I check on adaptivecards designer page and it seems there is no issues with JSON.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "InvalidJsonInBotAdaptiveCard",
    "message": "Microsoft.Azure.ProcessSimple.Data.Entities.Exceptions.ProcessSimpleDataException: The specified Teams flowbot adaptive card request is missing or invalid.

Hi again!
Let's see if this works. Replace the URL in your action and use a concat() based expression instead:

Current:
url": "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['userPrincipalName']}"

Proposal:
url": "@{concat('https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=',body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['userPrincipalName'])}"

Hope this helps

Wait, wait, wait

If the error persists, I would suggest to remove rich text block just for troubleshooting purposes. According to the doc it was introduced in AdaptiveCards version 1.2...
https://adaptivecards.io/explorer/RichTextBlock.html

...and according to Tomasz Poszytek blog (post from Jan2020) Power Automate supports 1.0.

https://poszytek.eu/en/microsoft-en/office-365-en/powerautomate-en/register-response-from-custom-adaptive-cards-sent-from-power-automate-to-teams/

According to this last post "...Microsoft Teams still works with version 1.0 of Adaptive Cards. If you don’t want to loose any functionalities of your designed card stick to those from SDK version 1.0 (https://github.com/microsoft/AdaptiveCards/releases/tag/v1.0)

If you’d like to use some of the features from versions 1.1 and 1.2 please turn your Teams (desktop or web) into “Developer Preview”:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/resources/dev-preview/developer-preview-intro

Hope this helps

Hi!

I was referring to this section

{ "type": "RichTextBlock", "inlines": [ { "type": "TextRun", "text": "@{variables('varComments')}" } ] },

...so once removed your original JSON would look like:

{ "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "version": "1.0", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "New Request", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Large" }, { "type": "ColumnSet", "columns": [ { "type": "Column", "width": "stretch", "items": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['displayName']}", "weight": "Bolder", "wrap": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "spacing": "None", "text": "@{body('Convert_time_zone')}", "isSubtle": true, "wrap": true } ] } ] }, { "type": "ActionSet", "actions": [ { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "Chat", "url": "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['userPrincipalName']}" }, { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "Email", "url": "mailto:@{body('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['mail']}" } ] } ] }

Hope this helps

Oh God! You Are so awesome! It finally worked after removing Rich Text Block.
Can you give me some hint on how to use the code if not Rich Text Block

"type": "TextRun", "text": "@{variables('varComments')}

P.S. -- I am not a developer, I am trying my best to help my colleague who is unwell.

Hi again!

So, I would try the following: remove from the original design

{ "type": "RichTextBlock", "inlines": [ { "type": "TextRun", "text": "@{variables('varComments')}" } ] },

and use this other approach instead

{ "type": "TextBlock", "spacing": "None", "text": "@{variables('varComments')}", "isSubtle": true, "wrap": true },

If it this replacement does not work, please let us know. If succeeds, since you already marked the topic as solved, as an optional way to thanx for weekend support is by just clicking 'Thumbs up' in this current answer, or even in all of them 😉

Hope your colleague recovers soon!
