Have the bot detect that a question has not been answered by a given time limit.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 189

I'm building a chatbot that gives a user x number of seconds to answer a question before it executes an action but I'm struggling to find any settings or parameters that accomplish this in the bot framework. Is there a way to set a time limit on a specific question that the bot asks before it moves on to the next item? TIA

    Is there a way to access that in PVA for TEAMS?

    Hi @kgreen8790 ,

     

    In this case adaptive cards adaptivecards.io and Bot Framework Composer would be your best friend.

    Adaptive Cards can handle required form fields and you can send the data to where you want on Submit and connected with Power Automated.

     

    Cheers,


    Fernando

    Hi @kgreen8790
    True, most integration features and custom flows are not available in PVA for Teams.
    I'll take a look if there is another way out for your case, if I find something I'll let you know.

    Oh no, it doesn't look like it is available in the TEAMS PVA environment. 😞

    where is BOT FRAMEWORK? How do access it and locate the docs to guide me?

    Hello. @kgreen8790 
    Directly within the bot, I believe this is not possible, because we cannot put time validation on the question. In this case this topic will probably have to be built using BOT FRAMEWORK to be able to build this logic.
