This sample demonstrates how to create and send Adaptive Cards with different action types using a Microsoft Teams bot. It includes features like submitting actions, showing cards, toggling visibility, and more.
- Bots
- Adaptive Cards
Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).
Microsoft Teams bot adaptivecard actions sample app: Manifest

Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
-
.NET SDK version 6.0
-
dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
-
Teams Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio.
- Install Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.10 Preview 4 or higher Visual Studio
- Install Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Teams Toolkit extension
- In the debug dropdown menu of Visual Studio, select Dev Tunnels > Create A Tunnel (set authentication type to Public) or select an existing public dev tunnel.
- In the debug dropdown menu of Visual Studio, select default startup project > Microsoft Teams (browser)
- In Visual Studio, right-click your TeamsApp project and Select Teams Toolkit > Prepare Teams App Dependencies
- Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps.
- Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the menu in Visual Studio.
- In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.
If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.

Setup For Bot
- Register a Microsoft Entra ID aap registration in Azure portal Microsoft Entra ID – App Registrations.
- Also, register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.
- Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- While registering the bot, use
https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages
as the messaging endpoint.
NOTE: When you create your app registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels
. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous

This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in the ./appPackage folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string{{Microsoft-App-Id}}

) - Edit the
manifest.json
forvalidDomains
and replace{{Domain-Name}}
with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would behttps://1234.ngrok-free.app
then your domain-name will be1234.ngrok-free.app
and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like:12345.devtunnels.ms
. - Zip up the contents of the
appPackage
folder to create amanifest.zip
(Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
