Customize the "Update message" of the "Post adaptive card and wait for a response" action

Is it possible to use a json payload as the "Update message" or turn the the "Update message" off? I would like to be able to send a new adaptive card as a response to the user selections in the first, but I do not want this "Thanks for your response" after each question?
I have seen in other posts here where the action has both a bigger field for the update message but also the option to select if the card should be updated or not, I do not have those options.

Any idea why those options does not exist?

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, json cannot be included in the Update Message. I have found that there is some limited support for Markdown, however:

Confirmed working:
*italics*
**bold**

Confirmed not working
- bullet point
> blockquote

Hopefully that will help with what you're trying to do!

Hi, I have done the following to update with an adaptive card :

and in the messageId field of "Update an adaptive card in a chat or channel" I used outputs('Post_adaptive_card_and_wait_for_a_response_2')?['body/messageId'] to get the messageId of the adaptive card.

So, this works great for forms because with the "post adaptive card and wait for a response" the form i submitted is automatically closed by the update message and then I can submit an update with the form answers (without the submit button).

Hope this helps!

Hi!

That sounds great but what do you select in the update and adpative card action? There has to be a Team/Channel or a Group chat, what do you specify here. The inital adaptive card is sent as a one2one chat message to the user not in a channel or group chat

Thanks

To send to the user, as 1-to-1, I used the activity Create a Chat and put the email there, then that gives me as output an conversationId, and I use it in Group Chat field of Post adaptive card and wait for a response 2 and Update an adaptive card in a chat or channel.

ConversationId = @outputs('Create_a_chat')?['body/id']
MessageID = outputs('Post_adaptive_card_and_wait_for_a_response_2')?['body/messageId']

The group chat field can be a conversationId as 1-to-1, because you retrieve the conversationId from the Create Chat activity. (And don't worry, if you use the activity, the conversation on teams will always be the same, because if teams has a conversation already between those 2 people, it will use that one. If not, it creates a new chat with that person.)

Thank you @CatarinaF this is brilliant, didn't think of having a 1to1 group chat 🙂
Now the Bot doesn't have to be installed in the Teams client anymore as it had to when using the PVA
Do you if there is any way of getting rid of the "<sender> via Power Automate"

Sure, glad it helped!
Unfortunately, I think we still can't edit the flowbot name… 😅

Please mark the last response as solution, apparently this problem is common to many people!

Thank so much @CatarinaF! I was crazy trying a solution for this.

I have a flow than send an approval to teams and mail and need to show the same answer on both.
Lost some hours researching for any solution.
