To update the existing card on button selection, you can use ReplyToId of incoming activity.

To update existing card on a button selection, pass a new Activity object with updated card and ReplyToId as activity ID to the UpdateActivityAsync method of the TurnContext class. See TurnContextClass.

 
var activity = MessageFactory.Attachment(card.ToAttachment());
activity.Id = turnContext.Activity.ReplyToId;
await turnContext.UpdateActivityAsync(activity, cancellationToken);

Nivedipa-MSFT What if I want to update the adaptive card at some scheduled time? If I store ReplyToId or message id. How I can update a card or message in a particular channel at some point in time?

What are the details I should store and How I can update the card later? And Is there a way to batch update the messages and how to reply to the message and update this message also later?

 

It will be helpful if you can send the documents required.

    const {
    BotFrameworkAdapter, TurnContext, TeamsInfo, CardFactory, MessageFactory
    } = require('botbuilder');
    const properties = {

    };
    const BotConnector = require('botframework-connector');
    const adapter = new BotFrameworkAdapter({
    appId: '',
    appPassword: ''
    });
    BotConnector.MicrosoftAppCredentials.trustServiceUrl(properties.serviceUrl);
    const context = new TurnContext(adapter, properties);
    var message1 = await context.sendActivity('Hi');
    console.log(message1);
    var reference = TurnContext.getReplyConversationReference(context.activity, message1);
    console.log(reference);
     
    I am sending message as above and storing details required. Then later at some scheduled timed I have to update message to some other message as below. But it is not working as expected.
     
    const newActivity = MessageFactory.attachment({
    'type': 'AdaptiveCard',
    '$schema': 'http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json',
    'version': '1.5',
    'body': [
    {
    'type': 'TextBlock',
    'text': 'Nobody has replied to this poll yet',
    'wrap': true
    }
    ]
    });
    BotConnector.MicrosoftAppCredentials.trustServiceUrl(properties.serviceUrl);
    const newcontext = new TurnContext(adapter, properties);
    newActivity.id = reference.activityId;
    console.log(newcontext);
    newcontext.updateActivity(newActivity);
