What if post adaptive card and wait for a response timeout
Hi Team,
Scenario: Post the adaptive card to the team chat. If the user doesn't respond after 2 hours, the adaptive card should be updated as "Expired"with a new design on the same conversation.
In an attempt to comply with this, I used a "Post adaptive card in char and wait for response."
Challenges: What would happen if I posted an adaptable card and waited for a response timeout? I wouldn't get a response. An error is being thrown.
Expectations include waiting for a response after receiving an adapted card. In any case, your card has already produced a message ID and posted.
This action should to return a Message Id in the event that a timeout occurs.
Would you kindly respond if you have discovered a solution?

Hi,
I have found a solution to this, without using any premium connectors.
The solution is to run a parrallel branch, use the Get messages in a chat block. You need the conversationID for this to run, so you need to Create a chat (cannot be yourself or workflow bot). Once you have the chat, save the conversationID to be used in Get messages in a chat block. Retrieve the last couple of messages, filter the messages by equals(item()?['attachments']?[0]?['contentType'], 'application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive') and voila, the first body of the filter array contains the message id as id.
I can provide the step-by-step code if required.

Hi Sayali-MSFT​ ,
I have the exact same issue. It's pretty frustrating that the MessageID disappears upon timeout because we want to update the card should it exceed a certain time period. Is there a solution for this issue?
Thanks for your help in advance
I would like the same.
Happens the an adaptive card waiting for a response and that then times out, does not produce the message ID and so I am not able to update it.
Is there a solution for this?

Hello @AdaptiveCardNewbie,
Here you will get the message id-haha you gotta be kidding me. Can you read english above? The whole rant was about timeout and you give this example. You have taken us for a fool? Who is the fool now?
Microsoft engineers are a JOKE

Hello,
To update an adaptive card we need the message ID, which is not listed in your post.
Or is there something else?
