Adaptive card tooltip not showing when using Action.OpenUrl mailto:

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 129
Hello,
 
I am using a URL: mailto: with subject and body. The body is very long even in my test text and will be longer when the real text is provided to me.
 
Although I've set the tooltip for the button, when I hover over it in the adaptive card builder or when I test my flow and get the card in Teams, it's just got the very long email info in the tooltip.
 
Am I missing something? Thanks for any insight.

    Can you share the json payload of your adaptive card? This way I can try and reproduce your issue in the Adaptive Card designer:
     
    Below is an example of what I used in my test.
     
    {
      "type": "AdaptiveCard",
      "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
      "version": "1.5",
      "body": [
        {
          "label": "Please enter your name below:",
          "type": "Input.Text",
          "id": "name"
        }
      ],
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "Action.Execute",
          "title": "Submit",
          "tooltip": "Click here to add your name to the waiting list."
        }
      ]
    }
     

     
    Happy to help out 😁

    Hi @Expiscornovus, it has to be an Action.OpenUrl with a mailto: component for the issue to be reproduced. Tooltips on normal submit actions work fine.
     
    Here's an example:
     
    {
        "type": "AdaptiveCard",
        "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
        "version": "1.5",
        "actions": [
            {
                "type": "Action.OpenUrl",
                "title": "Open e-mail template",
                "tooltip": "Open e-mail template",
                "url": "mailto: EnterClientEmail@microsoft.com&subject=hi?body=hi"
            }
        ]
    }

    Your json looks valid. According to the new designer site it should also work.
     
    Also checked the docs of the Action.OpenUrl, that tooltip should work from 1.5 and onwards:
     
    Have you tried running it with a regular https:// url, just to see if it is related to the mailto: type of link?

    Hi @Expiscornovus, it appears to actually be a security feature so that people can't hide malicious URLs. But that is so annoying!!! It means I cannot even use it. I don't know what the alternative option is, as there doesn't seem to be one. I mean, it's just a visual nuisance but still.
