Send Adaptive Card Including Different Actions - NodeJS

This sample shows the feature where user can send adaptive card with different actions using bot.

Interaction with app

Try it yourself - experience the App in your Microsoft Teams client

Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).

Microsoft Teams bot adaptivecard actions sample app: Manifest

Included Features

Bots
Adaptive Cards

Prerequisites

Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 18.12.1)
ngrok or equivalent tunneling solution
M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.

Setup

Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.

Setup For Bot

In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource.
Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
While registering the bot, use https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.

NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

Setup NGROK
Run ngrok - point to port 3978

ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"

Setup For Code

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

In a terminal, navigate to samples/bot-adaptive-card-actions/nodejs
Update the .env configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword. (Note the MicrosoftAppId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup AAD app registration in your Azure portal), the MicrosoftAppPassword is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)
Install modules
```
npm install
```
Run your app
```
npm start
```

Setup Manifest for Teams

This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the manifest.json contained in the ./AppPackage folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string {{Microsoft-App-Id}} (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
- Edit the manifest.json for validDomains and replace {{Domain-Name}} with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok-free.app then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok-free.app.
- Zip up the contents of the AppPackage folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
- From the lower left corner, choose Upload a custom App
- Go to your project directory, the ./AppPackage folder, select the zip folder, and choose Open.
- Select Add in the pop-up dialog box. Your app is uploaded to Teams.
