Collect Feedback From Microsoft Teams Using Power Automate

In this article, we'll turn our attention toward designing a feedback card using Low Code Solution. Here I am going to articulate how to collect a feedback response from a MS Teams User and update the response back into sharepoint online list as data source.

Power Automate has below actions under Microsoft Teams Connector (which is in preview mode as of now).

Post an adaptive card as the Flow bot to a Teams user, and wait for a response
Post an adaptive card as the Flow bot to a Teams channel, and wait for a response

Once the adaptive card posted into MS Teams User or Channel with above defined actions. Power Automate instance will wait (async call) unless user didn't respond.

Power Automate documentation maximum waiting time for async call is 30 days.

Prerequisites

Adaptive Card Designer refernece
Power Automate i.e. Create Automate workflow reference
SharePoint Online Cusotm List (Ticket Details & Feedback). Based on status of ticket i.e. closed power automate post adaptive card respone to MS Teams User. Once User respond , user input will get store into data source i.e. feedback sharepoint online list.
Microsoft Teams access

Lets start with power automate creation

Login to https://flow.microsoft.com
Create an instant flow with trigger "create or update sharepoint online list item"
Create two SharePoint List i.e. Ticket Details & Feedback Response

On ticket detail status change trigger the feedback card.

Column Name	DataType	Default Value
Title	Single Line Of Text
RequestorName	People Picker
Ticket Status	Choice	new, assigned,in progress on hold,resolved,closed cancelled
Ticket Description	Multi line text (Plain)

Another List name Feedback Response,

Column Name	Data Type	Default Value
Title	Single Line Of Text
Feedback Comment	Multiple Line Of Text
Raiting	Number
Ticket Id	Single Line Of Text

Add an action "When an item is created or modified: in SharePoint Online List.

Note

In this scenario, As item get updated, power automate will get trigger and check the condition ticket status has closed or not. If ticket status has closed, then condtion will be true and it will trigger the rest of action to continue

Add another action "Post an Adaptive Card to a Teams user and wait for a respnse"

Add Requestor Name (it can be find in ticket table, who has created a ticket)
Enter the Messgae
Select "Should Update Card" Yes

Click Create Adaptive Card and it will prompt adaptive card designer within same context.

Select Card Payload Editor and Paste below JSON or You are free to design the card as per your requirement.

"actions": [

}
]
}

Create Item based on user response into Feedback List

Comment and Rating value will be populated from teams response, If value doesn't exist in your case , you can use below formula

Comment ;- @{body('Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_user_and_wait_for_a_response')?['data']?['Comments']}

Rating :- @{body('Post_an_Adaptive_Card_to_a_Teams_user_and_wait_for_a_response')?['data']?['Rating']}

Validate and Save with user friendly name.

Once ticket status gets closed or user can manually chnage the status in the backend for testing purposes, Feedback Card will be post to indiviual user based on status.

Flow Bot will post the feedback card to ticket creator.

Now user needs to respond or provide the feedback within 30 days (time out limitation for power automate).

User can select the rating from dropdown and provide the relevent comments. Once user submits the response, user input will get stored into feedback response list.
