Collect Multiple Responses from Teams Adaptive Card Polls using Power Automate?

Question

Title says it all. Is there a way to easily collect multiple responses from an Adaptive Card Poll sent in Teams to a group chat?

I see that there is a "Post Poll and wait for response" action, but I am not sure that it will handle multiple responses, and I do not want a flow waiting in the background for several days while a survey is being collected.

We tried using action 'Post adaptive card and wait for a response' and observed that it doesn't collect multiple responses. It only takes up the first response.

Card JSON:

{

    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",

    "type": "AdaptiveCard",

    "version": "1.0",

    "body": [

        {

            "type": "TextBlock",

            "text": "Poll Request",

            "id": "Title",

            "spacing": "Medium",

            "horizontalAlignment": "Center",

            "size": "ExtraLarge",

            "weight": "Bolder",

            "color": "Accent"

        },

        {

            "type": "TextBlock",

            "text": "Power Automate Poll",

            "id": "acHeaderTagLine",

            "separator": true

        },

        {

            "type": "TextBlock",

            "text": "Preferred Car Model",

            "weight": "Bolder",

            "size": "ExtraLarge",

            "spacing": "None",

            "id": "acHeader"

        },

        {

            "type": "TextBlock",

            "text": "We are polling our employees in order to determine if we should provide personalized parking places that are sized for the most popular cars. ",

            "id": "acInstructions",

            "wrap": true

        },

        {

            "type": "TextBlock",

            "text": "Please vote on your preferred car model from the choices listed here.",

            "id": "acPollQuestion"

        },

        {

            "type": "Input.ChoiceSet",

            "placeholder": "Select from these choices",

            "choices": [

                {

                    "title": "Tesla",

                    "value": "Tesla"

                },

                {

                    "title": "Lexus",

                    "value": "Lexus"

                },

                {

                    "title": "Honda",

                    "value": "Honda"

                }

            ],

            "id": "acPollChoices",

            "style": "expanded"

        }

    ],

    "actions": [

        {

            "type": "Action.Submit",

            "title": "Submit",

            "id": "btnSubmit"

        }

    ]

}

We noticed in official documentation its clearly mentioned that,

Adaptive cards created using the wait for response actions can only be submitted once per card. The flow run continues after the first response, and any further submissions are ignored.
