"When someone responds to an adaptive card" not triggering in a specific scenario

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
I need to send an Adaptive Card from a Power Automate flow (Flow A) using the “Post card in a chat or channel” action so that, when a user presses a button, a second independent flow (Flow B) is triggered through “When someone responds to an adaptive card in a chat or channel” posted as flow bot in a chat with flow bot (1:1 chat); however, the issue is that Flow B only triggers in one very specific scenario: when the Teams connection reference is configured with my personal account (the flow owner) and I send the card to myself, in which case the flow works only for me and not for other users. Do you know if there is any known limitation with this?

    Yes, that is expected and this is a known limitation.

    The trigger "When someone responds to an adaptive card in a chat or channel" only fires for adaptive card responses in chats or channels that the Teams connection account used by the trigger can access.

    In the scenario where it works, the Teams connection reference is your personal account and the card is sent to yourself. In that case, the 1:1 chat is visible to your account, so the trigger fires. When the card is posted to another user’s 1:1 chat with the Flow bot, that chat is not accessible to your account, so Flow B cannot “see” the response and the trigger does not fire.

    What you can do: 

    Use “Post adaptive card and wait for a response” in the same flow, then call Flow B via a child flow or HTTP if needed. Or merge Flow A and B.

    OR

    Post the adaptive card to a channel or group chat where the Teams connection account is a member.

    Let me know if it helped!
