Team Channel: Card with button. Specific URL for each user?

Question

Hi,I have a Teams bot with bot commands (personal &amp; team). In a Team, with one of the received commands the bot sends to the team channel a Card with a button. Now this button opens a fixed URL in the pc browser ('Action.OpenUrl').&nbsp;The URL is the same for all teams members, since the card is available for all once sent. What I would like to do is to open a different URL depending on the user who presses the button in the team channel.&nbsp;Is it possible? I could add a task in the card, so my bot would be notified, but then I am not in the client side to open the URL...&nbsp;Any help?&nbsp;Thanks,Diego

diegoSpace&nbsp;It is not possible to specify different URL's for different users on click of a button. One way you could do this is open a taskmodule and check the user details there and open a url inside task module but that is not a reliable way and is something we do not recommend.

Gousia_Begum&nbsp;I will try it, just to see if works for me. Why do you don'r recommend it?&nbsp;As far as I understand in the docu, I must add an 'Action.Submit' in my card, correct? I have that in the card.json sent to the team channel:"actions": [&nbsp;{&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "type": "Action.Submit",&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "title": "Test1",&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "data": {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "msteams": {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "type": "invoke",&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"value": "{\"key1\": \"value1\", \"key2\": \"value2\"}"&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }}]&nbsp;I receive a post in my bot ("type='invoke'), but is there any method in the API to handle it? Or must I check the 'type' and process then? Now I have that code, and I return a task to open a browser in Teams channel, but no browser is open (I get no error):&nbsp; &nbsp;onPostReceived(req, res) {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if (req.body == "invoke") {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;var task = {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;"task": {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;type: 'continue',&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;value: {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;width: 500,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;height: 200,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;title: "site title",&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;url: myUrl,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;fallbackUrl: myUrl&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;}&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;res.writeHeader(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;res.write(JSON.stringify(task));&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;res.end();&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}}&nbsp;What am I doing wrong?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks,Diego&nbsp;

diegoSpace&nbsp;If you want to open a link in the browser on click of a button you need to use a Action.OpenURL action and if you want to open a task module you will need to pass a invoke action with type as "task/fetch". Please go through TaskModules and try this out.

Gousia_Begum&nbsp;I read the link you mention and according to what I understood there I had the code I pasted before. Is it wrong?&nbsp;I send to a channel a card, with an action button ("type": "Action.Submit"). When button pressed, my bot receives the HTTP post (message with type 'invoke'), and I responde with a 200 OK (with the task info)&nbsp;But nothing happens (no popup task is open). Maybe I am not returning properly the Task:&nbsp;var task = {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "task": {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; type: 'continue',&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; value: {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; width: 500,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; height: 220,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; title: "Test",&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; url: sUrlNotLogged,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; fallbackUrl: sUrlNotLogged&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }}res.writeHeader(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });res.write(JSON.stringify(task));res.end();&nbsp;Or I missunderstood the documentation...&nbsp;Thanks for your help
