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

Hi, I have a Teams bot with bot commands (personal & 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 ...

diegoSpace 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 I will try it, just to see if works for me. Why do you don'r recommend it?

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": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Test1",
"data": {
"msteams": {
"type": "invoke",
   "value": "{\"key1\": \"value1\", \"key2\": \"value2\"}"
      }
   }
}
]

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):

onPostReceived(req, res) {
if (req.body == "invoke") {
   var task = {
  "task": {
    type: 'continue',
    value: {
         width: 500,
         height: 200,
         title: "site title",
         url: myUrl,
         fallbackUrl: myUrl
     }
}
}

res.writeHeader(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });
res.write(JSON.stringify(task));
res.end();
}
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Diego
