In MS Team Adaptive Card, how do I specify the server it post to? - json

Question

I am trying to use Action.Submit in my adaptive card to hit my Google Cloud Function. Where do I specify where to send the submission to? The reason I am doing this is I want to skip building a full chat server due to time constraint.
Example of Adaptive Card, no property to specify post URL:
{
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Present a form and submit it back to the originator"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "firstName",
"placeholder": "What is your first name?"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "lastName",
"placeholder": "What is your last name?"
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Action.Submit",
"data": {
"x": 13
}
}
]
}

Adaptive cards aren't developed specifically for bot service.
so working with them needs some tricks , in your case if you are trying to send a request that contain adaptive card inputs you need to know :
when the user click the submit button the adaptive card will send a message to bot activity handler on behalf of the user, this message contains a JSON object (you can view this object by adding this line in the bot onMessage function.
console.log(context.activity)
you can get the data from this meesage by using :
context.activity.value.firstName (to get the firstName sent by the adaptive card)
Now you can send your request to the server i prefer using Axios .
