Get response from the adaptive card in Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by netchrist

I'd like to send an Adaptive Card and get the response using PowerAutomate Desktop, but it only has the option "Post card in chat or channel"😥. Does anyone know if there is a way to send and receive the response on the PAD?

I saw that I could use the "Invoke web service" option on the PAD and use the "When an http request is received" option on the Portal, and then use the "Post adaptive card and wait for a response", but I couldn't think of how to return response to PowerAutomate Desktop

Why exactly do you need to do it from PAD? Can you maybe build a cloud flow that posts the card, and then launches the desktop flow with input variables?

Hello
Well, I have a Windows application that runs on a machine. This application will be monitored and sometimes it will need to send a questionnaire to a user, therefore, the adaptive card needs to be sent by the PAD and only for a few moments. I can't monitor this Windows tool using cloud flow tools

Well, in that case, you could build a cloud flow that reacts to an HTTP request and then posts the adaptive card, and responds to the request. You could then call it from PAD via Invoke web service and then process the response. See here on what actions you need to use in the cloud flow (apart from the adaptive card, which you should figure out separately): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/http-connectors/4-http-request

You would need to use the Respose action in the Power Automate cloud flow to return the data:

See this article for the documentation on how that works:
