Issue Description

My question related to MS teams compose extention
I have side loaded bot using json manifest containing

"composeExtensions": [ { "botId": "39b2dead-ccab-4b8c-8c5d-*********", "scopes": [ "personal", "team" ], "commands": [ { "id": "searchCmd", "title": "Search tasks", "initialRun": false, "description": "Search tasks", "parameters": [ { "name": "search", "title": "Search", "description": "Search tasks" } ] } ] } ],

I will explain use case step by step:

step 1: In channel conversion when user clicks on compose extension button there is bot in compose extension popup user clicks on that bot option then it will call bot api endpoint

step 2 : When bot api endpoint is called i.e. Compose extensions come in as Invokes to bot and bot responding in activity.IsComposeExtensionQuery() event then in the response of activity.IsComposeExtensionQuery() bot create some thumbnail cards CreateComposeExtensionResponse() method and send as response for compose extension such that,

                   `   //Compose extensions come in as Invokes.  Leverage the Teams SDK helper functions
                if (activity.IsComposeExtensionQuery())
                {

                    var invokeResponse = await new ComposeExtension(activity).CreateComposeExtensionResponse();

                    // Return the response
                    return Request.CreateResponse<ComposeExtensionResponse>(HttpStatusCode.OK, invokeResponse);

                }`

Step 3 : Then user see there are some cards in compose extension popup send by bot as compose extension query response

Step 4 : Then User clicks on one of the card from compose extension popup and send it into channel conversation

Step 5 : As the conversation is initiated by user by selecting card from compose extension popup
Then that card is the first message of the conversion

Step 6 : There there is some discussion related to that card by users in that channel conversion but when one of the user in that channel discussion conversion ping like @MYBOT then **how can the bot knows which card from compose extension popup is selected for discussion ** because when on selecting the card from compose extension popup cards there is no call to bot.
i.e. I want information of that card taken for conversion when user ping @MYBOT from that conversion

please reply immediately

Expected Behavior

Guide on Possible solutions:

1. As that card is first message(thumbnail card) of the conversation discussion, I will get message id of that card message by activity.Conversation.Id but Is this possible that bot will get that card details by message Id or

2. Is there any other way to read that card message of conversation using message Id or

3. Is this possible to read that whole current conversation thread by bot

4. Is there any event when user select card from compose extension popup: So my bot can know which card is selected for discussion among multiple cards .

Actual Results

Bot not able read conversation thread initiated by user

@gomteshhatgine can you please try to rephrase your question and include a code example of what you have tried,. It's unclear to me what you are asking.

[gomteshhatgine]

I have rephrased question, added use-case details please check

Any possible solutions?

Sorry for delayed response, been waiting on more info from the MS teams people. When I spoke with the MS Teams team, they said you are trying to use a feature that exists but is not documented yet. There was no guidance offered. This is an MS teams specific question you may try to contact them via this repo you might get a better response over there.
