APPROVE
DENY

One of the basic actions is a need to approve/deny a request. Using the Adaptive Card Designer, I copied out the basics of the approve/deny JSON and edited to how it is below. You'll note that the data key under the Action.Submit is highly customizable.

In this example, you'll see the information that I determined was necessary to be able to handle the approval/denial of a submission from our service desk to our software subject matter experts. I added the following fields for the response handler workflow:

• Type — Used to condition the initial noop on the response handler workflow to determine which sub-workflow is required
• ServiceTicketId
• ApprovedTicketNote — The ticket note ID used to generate the approval. On approval, this is used to obtain the note/time entry and send the same information off to Azure DevOps to create the work item.
• CardID/CardActivityId — The information returned from the original message needed to update this message again once the response is recorded.
