how to submit Adaptive Card values from SDK to Copilot Studio

[HISHAN03]

I have a teams bot SDK setup which is connected to 2 Copilot Studio agents. When i run the SDK in playground it works fine the agents are working and responding as expected

in one of my agents i am sending an Adaptive card to take a Input. I am able to display the adaptive card in Teams playground but I dont know how to submit the value [when i press submit] from the adaptive card to Copilot studio agent

this is my code in the Index.js in Teams bot SDK to handle messages

agentApp.activity(ActivityTypes.Message, async (context, state) => {

  var activity = context.activity;
  var userMessage = activity.text;
  console.log(`Received activity: ${JSON.stringify(activity, null, 2)}`);
    
  try {
    if (userMessage !== null && userMessage !== undefined) {
      console.log(`Received message: ${userMessage}`);
      // FIXED: Pass context to callAgent function
      var respo = await callAgent(userMessage, context);
      console.log(`Response from callAgent:`+  JSON.stringify(respo, null, 2) );
    } else if (activity.type === ActivityTypes.EndOfConversation) {
      // Optionally handle cleanup
      // delete conversations[agentKey];
    } else {
      console.log("Unhandled activity type:", activity.type);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error processing message:', error);
    await context.sendActivity("I encountered an error processing your message. Please try again.");
  }
});

And this is the message i am getting when i submit the adaptive card

Unhandled activity type: message

Hi @HISHAN03 Thanks for raising this issue. Looking to ask some clarifying questions to confirm i have understood your current setup.

Currently you have two copilot studio agents you're using agents sdk with the copilot studio client, and you want to have a submit action from the adaptive card that's displaying in one, and send the payload from that submit action to the other copilot studio agent and this is working in teams but not in agent playground?

Also, could you confirm the adaptive card JSON you posted above is the one your using and is working in playground?

Thank you!

hi @sarahcritchley thanks for noticing the issue

this is my adaptive card json

{
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "version": "1.5",
    "refresh": {
        "action": {
            "type": "Action.Execute",
            "id": "refreshCard"
        }
    },
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Hi, I am your HR agent!",
            "wrap": true,
            "weight": "Bolder",
            "size": "Medium"
        },
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Please enter your name below:",
            "wrap": true
        },
        {
            "type": "Input.Text",
            "id": "userName",
            "placeholder": "Enter your name"
        }
    ],
    "actions": [
        {
            "type": "Action.Execute",
            "title": "Submit",
            "verb": "submitName",
            "data": {
                "action": "submitName"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "Action.Submit",
            "title": "Action.Submit"
        }
    ]
}

I am able to display this card in the playground but when I press submit I get the received activity payload as(Unhandled activity ) that I have posted before and what I want to achieve is when I press submit I want the conversation to continue( in the Copilot agent i am just sending back the name i entered i want that to work in M365 SDK teams bot )

@sarahcritchley
I have an M365 SDK Teams bot that is connected to two Copilot agents, and I am currently testing the M365 SDK Teams bot in the Playground.

• In Copilot Studio, I have two agents that are working fine. I am able to send Adaptive Cards and successfully submit them. Everything works as expected within Copilot Studio.
• when I connect the agent to the M365 SDK bot, I am unable to handle the submit response of the Adaptive Card.
• when i type a message in the playground it goes to copilot agent and whatever the copilot agent response is shown in the playground
• likewise, when the copilot agent send me an adaptive card i want to press submit and continue the conversation i am not sure how to handle the submit response in the M365 bot sdk

@sarahcritchley i have not connected it to teams just testing in playground
