Using Input Dialog Variables passed from PVA to Bot Framework Composer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 153

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create a dynamic adaptive card bot which gets an array of values from Power Automate and passes these in as available options on an adaptive card in Bot Framework Composer.

 

I can find lots and lots of examples of passing values from BFC to PVA, but I can't find any examples of PVA to BFC.

I've added an 'input' variable into the dialog interface, but I can't see any way of accessing and using this variable within the code 😞

My idea was to reference this within the adaptive card so the list of choices would update depending on the array I passed through, but this doesn't work:

Has anyone else managed to achieve something similar or know if this is even possible?

I don't see why we have the option to pass input variables if we can't use them?

 

Thanks!

    Not exactly the same requirement as yours, but I've done something similar to this (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General/how-to-get-user-value-back-to-PVA-from-Bot-Framework-Composer/m-p/1209034#M2535)

    You need to have your variable in PVA to be created as Global which you would be sending to BFC and you need to set those variable properties as virtualagent.<variable_name>
