I need guidance on the best approach for sending Adaptive Cards with input fields to multiple users simultaneously in Microsoft Teams using Power Automate.

Currently, I have evaluated the following approaches:

1. Post adaptive card and wait for a response

Users are able to enter values in text / number input fields
Action.Submit works correctly
Response data is captured successfully
However, when used inside Apply to each, the flow executes sequentially
The next user receives the card only after the previous user submits the response

2. Post card in a chat or channel

Cards are delivered to multiple users simultaneously
This solves the sequential delivery issue
However, Action.Submit does not capture the response data for further processing
The submit button is visible but does not allow response handling as expected

My requirement is to achieve:

simultaneous card delivery to multiple users
response submission directly from Teams
independent response capture for each user
non-sequential execution

Could you please suggest the Microsoft recommended approach or best practice design pattern for this use case?

Is there any supported way to combine parallel delivery with response capture using Adaptive Cards in Teams through Power Automate?

Thank you.

Please find the high-level approach

Adaptive Cards in Teams – High-Level Approach (Power Automate)
Requirement
Send cards to multiple users at the same time
Capture individual responses
Avoid sequential execution
Recommended Pattern: Fan-out (Parent + Child Flow)
Parent Flow
* Trigger (Manual / Forms / SharePoint)
* Get list of users
* Loop users → Call Child Flow (one per user)
Child Flow (per user)
* Post Adaptive Card (wait for response)
* Capture inputs (`Action.Submit`)
* Save response (SharePoint / Dataverse)
Why this works
Each user = separate flow instance
Runs in parallel (non-blocking)
Responses captured independently
Avoid
Single flow with “wait for response” inside loop → sequential
Post card in chat/channel → no response capture
Advanced Option
Use Microsoft Bot Framework for large-scale / real-time scenarios
Key Summary
Parent + Child Flow (Fan-out) = Parallel delivery + Response capture (Best Practice)
