Dynamic adaptive cards with text inputs

Posted on by grogal

Hello

I faced a problem with lack of native loop functionality in copilot studio. For client we are preparing solution which will:
1. Get a JSON data from azure function

2. Ask user some questions to get missing values

3. Post result using http triggered Azure function

In point 2 we have to ask user to fill values for a list of objects like

{
...
 nodes: [
 {
 name: String
 extrenalNumber: String
 },
 {
 name: String
 extrenalNumber: String
 }
 ]
}

As a solution we were thinking of
1. using some big dynamic adaptive card which will ask user to fill in inputText required values for all of objects
2. create a loop that will post adaptive card foreach object

Is there any way to complete such task with copilot studio or we should migrate to Bot Framework?

Here is how to work with loops:

kind: AdaptiveDialog beginDialog: kind: OnRecognizedIntent id: main intent: triggerQueries: - loop - repeat - run again - start over - do it again - try once more - give me another round - restart the loop actions: - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_2oJevH variable: Topic.currItem value: "\"\"" - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_z9bKSl variable: Topic.items value: |- =[ "item1","item2","item3" ] - kind: Foreach id: myForeach items: =Topic.items value: Topic.currItem actions: - kind: SendActivity id: sendActivity_5arpmt activity: "{Topic.currItem}"

Hello
I was able to run loop but now I faced problem with saving result of each iteration in some table. Could you advice?
kind: AdaptiveDialog beginDialog: kind: OnRecognizedIntent id: main intent: {} actions: - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_oKhUX0 variable: Topic.nodesList value: =["Sql connection","Office connector"] - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_2oJevH variable: Topic.currItem value: "\"\"" - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_bNfSqP variable: Topic.Var3 value: =[] - kind: Foreach id: myForeach items: =Topic.nodesList value: Topic.currItem actions: - kind: SendActivity id: sendActivity_6HhMsS activity: "{Topic.currItem}" - kind: Question id: question_ZpGOlF interruptionPolicy: allowInterruption: true variable: init:Topic.Var2 prompt: Please provide name entity: StringPrebuiltEntity - kind: Question id: question_aJJTv0 interruptionPolicy: allowInterruption: true variable: init:Topic.Var1 prompt: Please provide number entity: StringPrebuiltEntity - kind: SendActivity id: sendActivity_W12Lmj activity: OUT OF LOOP

BTW I wasn't able to display adaptive card in loop. Code of adaptive card:
- kind: AdaptiveCardPrompt id: MFN51m card: |- ={ type: "AdaptiveCard", '$schema': "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", version: "1.5", body: [ { type: "TextBlock", text: "Please put more details", wrap: true }, { type: "Input.Text", id: "testNumber", placeholder: "testNumber", label: "testNumber" }, { type: "Input.Text", id: "appName", placeholder: "Application name", label: "Application name:" } ], actions: [ { type: "Action.Submit", title: "Submit", data: { testNumber: "testNumber", appName: "appName" } } ] } output: binding: actionSubmitId: Topic.actionSubmitId appName: Topic.appName testNumber: Topic.testNumber outputType: properties: actionSubmitId: String appName: String testNumber: String
