Adaptive Cards, Power Automate, Collect Data from Meeting Attendees  

Thanks Phil. Always appreciate the feedback. Timeouts, run after, pieters method, select/html table to name a few 😉 I think adaptive cards are often overlooked. Might have to do another video on building one from scratch at some point too. Thanks again.

Appreciate the tweet too, thanks.

Just uploaded github.com/DamoBird365/PowerAutomate/blob/main/RU-vidDemos/DailyStandupwithAdaptiveCards%26TeamsMeeting.zip

It is on a recurrence trigger, so it runs every day automatically. If you want to manually run it, you could try the from a compose box option.

You would need to provide more detail. Maybe ask on the forum powerusers.microsoft.com/

@@DamoBird365 Thank you for the reply. The forum helped me solve my issue

Ahhh, just put a text string in. With the terminate in one side, the rest of the flow will play out beneath the branch. It’s easier to build outside a branch if that suits your requirements.

I can try to help but you need to tell me the error. 👍

@@DamoBird365 Hi. Thank you for coming back - mistake is the following: The request failed. Error code: 'MissingOrInvalidBotRecipient'. Error Message: 'The specified Teams flowbot recipient is missing or invalid.'. But event when I put Compose Array to Recipient - Flow doesnt automatically start Apply to Each. Maybe you have a post about it, and I can post screenshots? :) On the other hand, I watched your videos about arrays (Basics) they are good for people like me who have 0 IT education. Thank you :)

{ "$schema": "adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "version": "1.2", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "size": "medium", "weight": "bolder", "horizontalAlignment": "center", "wrap": true, "text": "Daily StandUp - @{formatDateTime(utcnow(),'dd MMMM yyyy')}" }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Yesterday", "wrap": true }, { "type": "Input.Text", "style": "text", "id": "Yesterday", "isMultiline": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Today", "wrap": true }, { "type": "Input.Text", "style": "Url", "id": "Today", "isMultiline": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Blockers (if any)", "wrap": true }, { "type": "Input.Text", "style": "Email", "id": "Blockers", "isMultiline": true }, { "type": "ActionSet", "actions": [ { "type": "Action.Submit", "title": "Send Response" } ] } ] }

Filter array where item() is not equal to nothing ie leave it empty and then apply the apply to each to the filter array output. How did you end up with empty attendees?

@@DamoBird365 thanks. I've no idea why it returned an empty attendee. I'll keep debugging and see how i go. I did have to rebuild the adaptive card as the template presented is no longer available, so your video gives some ideas but I had to amend a few things to get it working and I may have created errors along the way. I do have the card appearing in teams, but can't pick up the results yet.

@@DamoBird365 it does appear that the Split function creates the blank row because it sees the last ; after the last responder email and does what it's supposed to do. So I need to see how to stop Split creating the blank entry in the array.

You can either filter or prior to split, remove the last ; if it’s the last character. Lastindexof would held you with this and substring.

This is a nested expression that would work, it checks to make sure your string ends in ; and then removes it or splits on the original string. if(equals(add(lastIndexOf(outputs('Compose'),';'),1),length(outputs('Compose'))),split(substring(outputs('Compose'),0,lastIndexOf(outputs('Compose'),';')),';'),split(outputs('Compose'),';'))

I’ve not tried this before. It doesn’t look like you can do this directly but you could ask the user for a url and then use get file content in your flow?
