Teams sending multiple responses to interactive bot

Maury33308 - To prevent multiple messages from being sent in quick succession, you can implement throttling in your code. Throttling limits the rate at which messages can be sent, ensuring that only one message is sent at a time. Rate limiting for bots - Teams | Microsoft Learn

Also, you can check for event duplication: It's possible that the button click event is being triggered multiple times due to event duplication. This can happen if there are multiple event handlers registered for the same event. Make sure that you have only one event handler registered for the button click event to avoid duplicate messages.

Here is an example of how to send a message in response to a button click event using the Teams JavaScript SDK:

// Handle button click event
async function handleButtonClick(event) {
  // Get the conversation ID and user ID
  const conversationId = event.conversation.id;
  const userId = event.user.id;

  try {
    // Create the conversation
    const conversation = await teamsClient.conversations.createConversation({
      bot: { id: '<your-bot-id>' },
      members: [{ id: userId }],
    });

    // Get the conversation ID
    const newConversationId = conversation.id;

    // Send the message
    await teamsClient.conversations.sendToConversation(newConversationId, {
      type: 'message',
      text: 'This is a response to the button click event.',
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error sending message:', error);
  }
}
