Question

Is it possible to set an adaptive card with date input in a waterfall dialog?(Using Bot Framework on Web and Teams).

What I need is user to select a date using adaptive cards Input.Date feature(Which is working everywhere except in Waterfall Dialogues) ie I need this adaptive card(which is already created as json in a local path) and return as context.PromptAsync() to next waterfall step.

Thanks, Gokul.

Answer 1

it's possible.
you can design date-input card schema on https://adaptivecards.io/designer.
for more example using adaptive card csharp_dotnetcore/06.using-cards

Answer 2

I'm only not flagging this as a duplicate due to the date-input part. K. Ch's answer is correct, although partial.

For retrieving input from Adaptive Cards in Waterfall Dialogs, see any of the previous times I've answered this

Specifically, handle submit actions in Waterfall Dialogs.
