Using Adaptive card

#AdaptiveCard, #MDA, #PowerAutomate, #Teams, #Notification

Greetings everyone,

Following a conversation with my client regarding Approval Notifications, it has been determined that they would like to receive notifications in their MS Teams chat whenever a record is approved.

In my case, the client has a Deal entity and it has been configured as the Approval Flow. The user requested that: When their Deal has been approved, they will receive a notification about this event in the Team chat.

... and I propose to use Power Automate to send an Adaptive Card to the record owner once it is approved in MS Teams.

My propose

1. Building an Adaptive Card

Okay ... I have attached the JSON code for this card below. You can try it out.

My sample card - JSON

Sample code

{
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "version": "1.3",
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Your Deal has been Approved",
            "size": "Large",
            "weight": "Bolder"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Deal: [Name]"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Customer: [Customer Name]}"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Est. Amount: [EstAmount]"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Approver: [ApproverName]",
            "wrap": true,
            "weight": "Bolder"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Approval Date:[ApprovalDate]",
            "wrap": true,
            "weight": "Bolder"
        },
        {
            "type": "ActionSet",
            "actions": [
                {
                    "type": "Action.OpenUrl",
                    "title": "Open Record",
                    "url": "[Link]"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

2. Creating the Power Automate

After finishing the Adaptive Card, I jumped to my solution and created a Cloud flow to send the Adaptive card to Deal Owner once it is approved in MS Teams.

2.1 Create Power Automate with the action "Post card in a chat..."

The action name: Post card in a chat or channel. Following the configure:

Post as: Flow bot
Post in: Chat with Flow chat
Recipient: Owner of record who receive the notification
Adaptive Card: input the JSON code of the card which was built from the Adaptive Carder designer tool.
