Attaching cards without AdaptiveCard(body, actions), but via JSON?
I couldnt find anything on it, but with requests, i can make a POST to the message API, and just attach the JSON of a card as the data, which IMO is a better solution than building the card in the code (for big and more complex cards at least). This looks like this:
cardBody = json.dumps({
"roomId": f"{message.roomId}",
"markdown": "[Tell us about yourself](https://www.example.com/form/book-vacation). We just need a few more details to get you booked for the trip of a lifetime!",
"attachments": [
******BIG JSON STRUCTURE FOR THE CARD HERE********]})
message_url = "https://webexapis.com/v1/messages"
cardHeader = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {teams_token}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.request("POST", message_url, headers=cardHeader, data=cardBody)
Is this possible with the webexteamssdk? If yes, how? i tried api.messages.create(room.id, text="Fallback", attachments=[card_json]), where card_json is this card i got from a cisco example:
"contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
"content": {
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
{
"type": "ColumnSet",
"columns": [
{
"type": "Column",
"width": 2,
"items": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Tell us about yourself",
"weight": "bolder",
"size": "medium"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "We just need a few more details to get you booked for the trip of a lifetime!",
"isSubtle": "True",
"wrap": "True"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Für internen Nutzen.",
"isSubtle": "True",
"wrap": "True",
"size": "small"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 1",
"wrap": "True"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Name",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 1"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 2",
"wrap": "True"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id" : "Url",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 2"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 3",
"wrap": "True"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Email",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 3",
"style": "email"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 4"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Tel",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 4",
"style": "tel"
}
]
},
{
"type": "Column",
"width": 1,
"items": [
{
"type": "Image",
"url": "https://media.aubi-plus.com/files/institution/f48996e-avodaq-ag-logo.jpg",
"size": "auto"
}
]
}
]
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Submit"
}
]
}
}```
But in the end, it always just sends `Fallback`, i dont know why it fails though - no error message visible.
Hi @FlyingThunder - I was able to take the example JSON you provided and replicate the issue on my side. Seems like there might be a soft syntax failure somewhere that's not generating an error. When I changed all of the "True" values in the JSON to true (lower case, no quotes) it worked just fine.
Here's the card JSON that worked for me:
{
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
{
"type": "ColumnSet",
"columns": [
{
"type": "Column",
"width": 2,
"items": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Tell us about yourself",
"weight": "bolder",
"size": "medium"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "We just need a few more details to get you booked for the trip of a lifetime!",
"isSubtle": true,
"wrap": true
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Für internen Nutzen.",
"isSubtle": true,
"wrap": true,
"size": "small"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 1",
"wrap": true
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Name",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 1"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 2",
"wrap": true
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id" : "Url",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 2"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 3",
"wrap": true
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Email",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 3",
"style": "email"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Feld 4"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "Tel",
"placeholder": "Beispieltext 4",
"style": "tel"
}
]
},
{
"type": "Column",
"width": 1,
"items": [
{
"type": "Image",
"url": "https://media.aubi-plus.com/files/institution/f48996e-avodaq-ag-logo.jpg",
"size": "auto"
}
]
}
]
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Submit"
}
]
}
I then threw that into a local file called card.json and used the following:
api = WebexTeamsAPI()
card_json = json.load(open('card.json', 'r'))
mycard = {"contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": card_json}
api.messages.create(room.id, text="Card", attachments=[mycard])
This works, but for my cards, I've been using the https://github.com/CiscoSE/pyadaptivecards library. I find that this saves me more lines of code, and easier to read as well.
