This trigger has only a Body input now it seems.

I've input the json that created the AC in the originating flow into the Body property.

I then tried adding a Compose action to get data from the card but there is no dynamic data available.

I think I've done the same thing that I've watched folks do in videos but I don't get the same result and don't understand why.

Is it because my original AC has dynamic values in it from the originating flow?

Here is the json for the AC. This same json is in the Post Card action within the originating flow and in the Body parameter of the "when someone responds" trigger.

{
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "version": "1.4",
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "@{outputs('Get_SPIFF_Submitter')}",
            "id": "acTitle",
            "spacing": "medium",
            "horizontalAlignment": "left",
            "size": "extraLarge",
            "weight": "bolder",
            "color": "accent"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Submitted a SPIFF Approval Request ",
            "id": "acHeaderTagLine"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "**SPIFF Name:** @{outputs('Get_SPIFF_Name')}",
            "size": "Medium",
            "id": "acSpiff",
            "separator": true
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "**SPIFF Number:** @{outputs('Get_Record_ID_for_url')}",
            "id": "acSPIFFID"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "**SPIFF Details:** @{outputs('Get_Details')}",
            "id": "acDetails"
        }
    ],
    "actions": [
        {
            "type": "Action.Submit",
            "title": "Acknowledge/Dismiss",
            "id": "btnClear",
            "data": {
                "button": "Dismiss"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "Action.Submit",
            "title": "Approve/Reject",
            "id": "btnDetails",
            "data": {
                "button": "Details"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Need help with "When someone responds to an adaptive card" trigger

Well, I managed to get the json into the trigger and it's firing.

I need a Condition now and can't figure out why it always resolves to false.

I put a Compose step immediately after the trigger to store the value of the specific button that was pressed.

Compose returns:

{ "button": "Dismiss" }

I added a Condition step immediately below Compose and I'm trying to compare the Outputs of the Compose step against Dismiss to end the flow and continue if it's not Dismiss. But the condition fails every time and I can't figure out what to use to compare against Outputs from the Compose step.

I've tried using Dismiss, "Dismiss", "button": "Dismiss". Those all fail the compare and wrapping it all in curly braces causes an error and I can't even save.

Need help with "When someone responds to an adaptive card" trigger

I thought maybe it was a Designer version problem so I switched to the old designer and instead of just the Body Input property, there is now a Inputs Adaptive Card and Card Type ID property. But I can't paste the card json into that field which seems very odd.

Do I have to manually type the entire json? Or am I doing something obviously wrong?
