Demos

Introduction to Adaptive Card Studio VS Code extension – step through the Visual Code extension that makes it easy to add to and work with Adaptive Cards in your project. The Adaptive Cards button exposes all Adaptive Cards resident in your workspace.  Within the extension, you can see and download samples (code, example, snippets, container) from AdaptiveCards.io.  Today you can send a card (layout, sample, json) to recipient in Outlook and soon Teams.    

Solving reCaptcha with Power Automate Desktop – resolves Google Captcha challenges using Power Automate Desktop for RPA (robotic process automation) and Outlook Actionable Messages.  User need not go to remote (unattended) machine.   Bot captures image of screen, sends mail to user, user responds, and bot executes instructions.  Manages repeated challenges, timeouts, and user contact attempts.   Uses an adaptive Card, 2 Cloud flows and Dataverse.  Learn how in this demo.

Bringing in your own data to Microsoft Search – using Azure Logic Apps and Graph connectors (Microsoft and Ecosystem Partner built, or Graph Search API) for pulling in external data sources.  Use Graph search API - Create connector in Graph, Register connector in search, Create an Adaptive Card for viewing results, and Add items into indexes.   Demo shows pulling content from Trello, using Graph calls in 3 Logic Apps (Search, Setup and Trigger).  

Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.    Request a Demo spot on the call https://aka.ms/m365pnp/request/demo
