visualInfo resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

A complex type for representing the visualElements property in the activity object.

Each user activity will be shown in Timeline as an Adaptive Card. App developers are encouraged to provide a custom Card which captures the essence of the activity which took place in your app. This is possible by providing a custom JSON card in the content property.

In addition to visual metadata with an Adaptive Card, app can specify content metadata – data that be used to build inferences on the user’s activity in order to offer new activities for future re-engagement. This is possible by using the activity's contentInfo property to provide a JSON object which leverages schema.org properties to describe the content.

If a custom card is not provided, a simple card will be generated using displayText and description properties. Custom cards are recommended to showcase the best content from within your app.

Properties
