MS teams adaptive card not sending input text value on submit - node.js

I am 500% sure it used to work and all of a sudden this is broken. The card for getting input is no longer passing the value back to nodejs.
The card looks like below:
{
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Note text"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"placeholder": "Type a note",
"isMultiline": true,
"id": "noteIdVal"
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Save",
"data": { "action" : "add_note", "objNumber": objId, "objType": objectType }
},
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Cancel",
"data" : {"action": "cancel"}
}
],
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json"
}
On the submit action, in my nodejs i am getting the data in the values node which are passed in the data field. However, it is no longer attaching noteIdVal. Did something changed from MS side?

MS Teams Adaptive card required special property with the name msteams to the object in an object submit action’s data property in order to access this functionality.
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Click me for messageBack",
"data": {
"msteams": {
"type": "messageBack",
"displayText": "I clicked this button",
"text": "text to bots",
"value": "{\"bfKey\": \"bfVal\", \"conflictKey\": \"from value\"}"
},
"extraData": {}
}
}
The type property is "messageBack" the submit action will behave like a messageBack card action, which is like a combination of imBack and postBack.
Reference :
Microsoft Docs for MS Teams Adaptive Card

So, may be useful to other folks here. I have two showCards and the content of both the show cards has a common text field with same id name "noteIdVal". As ultimately it is a single json and hence was the culprit.
Lesson, have all fields unique id values which is easy to miss when you have multiple show cards

Slack API triggering action event for element in input block

My Slack app sends a radio-button question to the users. The app is built using bolt-js. The radio buttons are inside an input block (ref: Slack Block Kit).
According to bolt-js reference for the method app.action:
... Note that action elements included in an input block do not trigger any events.
However, I still receive events on the app.action listener from elements that are inside the input block.
The code for sending the message is this:
await client.chat.postMessage({
"channel": channelId,
"blocks": [
{
"type": "input",
"label": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Some question"
},
"element": {
"type": "radio_buttons",
"options": [
{
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Option A",
},
"value": "value-0"
},
{
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Option B",
},
"value": "value-1"
},
],
"action_id": "some_action",
}
}
],
"text": "Some Text"
});
I have tried:
Removing the app.action('some_action') listener for this particular action. With this, the app logs show the following error:
[ERROR] An incoming event was not acknowledged within 3 seconds. Ensure that the ack() argument is called in a listener.
Removing the "action_id": "some_action" line from the block json. I still get the above mentioned error in the logs.
Explicitly setting "dispatch_action": false in the block json (which is false by default according to the input block reference). The event is still triggered.
I do not want the event to be triggered. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to change verbiage of listAuditEvents?

The current [Envelopes: listAuditEvents] creates the following verbiage for correction:
"eventFields": [
{
"name": "logTime",
"value": "2018-09-18T19:09:01.3603686Z"
},
{
"name": "Source",
"value": "api"
},
{
"name": "UserName",
"value": "Staging"
},
{
"name": "UserId",
"value": "8c57af14-e46a-4965-ae8b-42bb0c29b706"
},
{
"name": "Action",
"value": "Correction Initiated"
},
{
"name": "Message",
"value": "Staging initiated correction"
},
{
"name": "EnvelopeStatus",
"value": "correct"
},
I would like to modify the Message values. I have gone through Docusigns API but I have not found any indication that this is possible.
Has anyone had the same need? and if so were you able to add custom message verbiage for certain events/actions?
Thanks.
It's not possible for you to configure the contents of the API response for the listAuditEvents operation. However, you could (in your code) include logic to parse the API response and based on certain values in the response, substitute values (for purposes in your app) with the verbiage you prefer.
For example, let's say that you have a page in your app that displays the various events that have occurred for an Envelope, but you don't want to display the verbiage "[UserName] initiated correction" as the text in your UI when a user initiates an envelope correction -- instead you want to display the text "[UserName] changed envelope settings." The logic in your code could do something like this psuedo code shows (where auditEvent represents an object within the API response body for the listAuditEvents operation):
if (auditEvent.ActionInitiated == "Correction Initiated") {
displayMessageInUI(auditEvent.UserName + " changed envelope settings.");
}

Issue in handling inputs from previous buttons generated by prompts in Slack in Microsoft Bot builder node.js

In the condition when there are multiple buttons present on the same chat history, the user may click the button from previous messages, therefore I am not able to identify from which dialog/message the input came from.
Example:
As chat bot is being implemented for multiple channels, I am avoiding to use Slack's interactive messages, so my aim is to handle this on bot framework itself.
I tried getting information from session object as well as event_source but couldn't figure it out for a concrete solution.
Use a unique ID in callback_id in your button attachment to distinguish between different sets of buttons, e.g. between prompt #1 and prompt #2. The callback_id will be included in the request that Slack sends to your app once a button is pressed.
Together with the general context information of a request like Slack Team ID, channel ID, user ID your app should be able to react correctly.
Example for button definition (from official documentation):
{
"text": "Would you like to play a game?",
"attachments": [
{
"text": "Choose a game to play",
"fallback": "You are unable to choose a game",
"callback_id": "wopr_game",
"color": "#3AA3E3",
"attachment_type": "default",
"actions": [
{
"name": "game",
"text": "Chess",
"type": "button",
"value": "chess"
},
{
"name": "game",
"text": "Falken's Maze",
"type": "button",
"value": "maze"
},
{
"name": "game",
"text": "Thermonuclear War",
"style": "danger",
"type": "button",
"value": "war",
"confirm": {
"title": "Are you sure?",
"text": "Wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?",
"ok_text": "Yes",
"dismiss_text": "No"
}
}
]
}
]
}

how to implement algolia autocomplete on a single index, but i want results to show based on facets

I have an index on algolia, each document like this.
{
"title": "sample title",
"slug": "sample slug",
"content": "Head towards Rajinder Da Dhaba for some insanely delicious Kebabs!!",
"Tags": ["fashion", "shoes"],
"created": "2017-03-30T12:10:08.815Z",
"city": "delhi",
"user": {
"_id": "58b6f3ea884fdc682a820dad",
"description": "Roughly, somewhere between insanity and zen. Mostly the guy at the window seat!",
"displayName": "Jon Doe"
},
"type": "Post",
"places": [
{
"name": "Rajinder Da Dhaba",
"slug": "Rajinder-Da-Dhaba-safdarjung-9e9ffe",
"location": {
"_geoloc": [
{
"name": "Safdarjung",
"_id": "59611a2c2094b56a39afcbce",
"coordinates": {
"lng": 77.2030268,
"lat": 28.5685586
}
}
]
}
}
],
"objectID": "58dcf5a0355b590560d6ad68",
}
I want to implement autocomplete on this.
However, when i see the demos present in algolia dashboard, i found out that it returns the complete documents.
I want to only match on user.displayName, place.name, and title
and return only these fields as suggestions in the autocomplete results instead of complete documents, which match.
I know I can create separate indexes for users, places;
But is this possible with only a single index??
Did you had a look at http://algolia.com/doc/tutorials/search-ui/autocomplete/auto-complete/ ?
It shows how to have a custom display from an index.
To match on on user.displayName, place.name, and title
you can configure the "searchable attributes" from the algolia dashboard.

Insert a card that can be directly responded to

update !important: The API has changed a lot, this question shouldn't be taken into consideration anymore
I am trying to use the REST api (via Node.js API) to create cards that the user can respond to and create an interaction in this way.
Reading the docs the creator attribute is not really specified anywhere, so I have no idea how to insert that.
Also this video doesn't help. Nor this guide =)
I believe there is an URL I should set as callback somehow? I'd like to know how to get these responses, please.
update
This is the card I am sending.
{
bundleId: 'veryuniqueBundle',
id: 'veryuniqueBundle:reply',
text: "want to hear moar?",
menuItems: [
{action: "REPLY"}
]
}
that's the response I get:
{
"collection": "timeline",
"itemId": "119c4dc8-c0ce-4a83-aa76-41aab4e8dbe1",
"operation": "INSERT",
"verifyToken": "42",
"userToken": "id:520ef63cde31145deb000001",
"userActions": [
{
"type": "REPLY"
}
]
}
The problem is, I can't see what the user responded (an text) and the reference to the original card id (or bundle) that was responded to. How can I get those
Cards do not provide a direct callback. Instead, when a user selects a menu item it causes the card to be updated with their menu selection. This change subsequently triggers a notification ping to your timeline subscription.
Follow these steps to detect a menu item selection:
Subscribe to notifications for changes in the timeline collection
{
"collection": "timeline",
"userToken": "awesome_kitty",
"verifyToken": "random_hash_to_verify_referer",
}
Insert a timeline card with a custom menu item
{
"text": "Hello world",
"menuItems": [
{
"action": "CUSTOM",
"id": "complete"
"values": [{
"displayName": "Complete",
"iconUrl": "http://example.com/icons/complete.png"
}]
}
]
}
Select the item on Glass
Receive the notification on your subscription URL
{
"collection": "timeline",
"itemId": "3hidvm0xez6r8_dacdb3103b8b604_h8rpllg",
"operation": "UPDATE",
"userToken": "harold_penguin",
"userActions": [
{
"type": "CUSTOM",
"payload": "PING"
}
]
}
Do cool stuff in your code
