Hi all,
I've created a simple adaptive card with a button that routes to a custom topic. The button works great, except that it triggers the topic on every submit a user makes, not just when the button is selected.
What am I missing so that the adaptive card button only triggers when a user selects it?
{
type: "AdaptiveCard",
actions: [
{
type: "Action.Submit",
title: "Contact Us",
data: {
topicTrigger: "Topic.ContactUs"
}
}
],
'$schema': "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
version: "1.5"
}

Figured it out. For those interested, I needed to add the type 'associatedInputs' to the data object. Updated Formula works as intended.
{
type: "AdaptiveCard",
actions: [
{
type: "Action.Submit",
title: "Contact Us",
data: {
topicTrigger: "Topic.ContactUs",
text: "Contact Us",
associatedInputs: "none"
}
}
],
'$schema': "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
version: "1.5"
}

Hi Evans, Justin (MNIT), glad to hear that it worked.
Just a quick question: Has this been documented anywhere ('associatedInputs' property)?
It took me a while to find some supporting documentation for it. Reviewing the adaptive cards documentation, if the 'associatedInputs' property is not supplied, the adaptive cards default state is to pass along the inputs/triggers with every submission. Since I used the adaptive card builder for this, it was never added as an option, and I wasn't even sure what revenue to explore. I honestly found it by accident while looking into how a cancel button works in some MS documentation, as it should not work on every submit action in theory. Essentially, because my payload is a topic trigger, it is automatically passed with each question submission since the default state is set to on.
