Is there a card action to generate another card in Microsoft Bot framework?

Question

Is there any action type that I can use?

I am generating a list of cards which show some products. When the user clicks on them, I want to generate another card with a more detailed description. Is there any card action that I can use to call a method?

Answer 1

Since you want to use rich cards and not adaptive cards, you need to generate the second card manually.

Basically, the flow will be:

1. Card 1 with a button . Once you click the button, you will receive a new message to your controller, with the Text being the Value of the button ( CardAction )
2. Based on the message you received, you generate the second card and send it to the user.

Here you can find an example on how to use rich cards.
