msteamsv2 Receiver does not support Summary field

[cbryant42]

The old msteams receiver supported adding/templating a Summary field, which is the display text for the notification and the displayed text inside the activity center. Now the notifications just say "{webhook name} Card". This isn't the biggest issue, but it would be nice to be able to customize this text to allow better notifications.

I've been looking into what changes this would require, and it does not look significant. However I do not have a pull request at the moment. I thought I would open this issue in advance to see if others also wanted this fixed.

Thanks!

When we looked at the new Adaptive Cards/Power Automate API, it seems there was nowhere to use the summary, so we removed it from msteamsv2. If this is incorrect, please feel free to open a pull request with the fix.

We have been using adaptive cards with a custom proxy for a while now is the only reason I knew this was possible. I'll work on getting a pull request in, but in the meantime, this is how you can structure the card to set the summary field.

	t := teamsMessage{
		Type:    "message",
		Summary: summary,
		Attachments: []Attachment{
			{
				ContentType: "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
				ContentURL:  nil,
				Content: Content{
					Schema:  "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
					Type:    "AdaptiveCard",
					Version: "1.2",
					Body: []Body{
						{
							Type:   "TextBlock",
							Text:   title,
							Weight: "Bolder",
							Size:   "Medium",
							Wrap:   true,
							Style:  "heading",
							Color:  color,
						},
						{
							Type: "TextBlock",
							Text: text,
							Wrap: true,
						},
					},
					Msteams: Msteams{
						Width: "full",
					},
				},
			},
		},
	}```

Where did you find this as it's not mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/teams/?tabs=text1%2Cdotnet#request-body-schema?

Honestly... I'm not sure. I made that change to my custom proxy in 2023 and didn't document where I found the documentation. I think I just tested a few iterations based on various forum posts I found around the topic like: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68297798/push-notifications-toasts-summary-for-adaptive-cards-on-microsoft-teams

Just to be 100% sure, you're using the new Power Automate workflows and not the old Office365 connectors?

[cbryant42]

Ahh, yes, my testing URL was the old Office365 connector. My apologies for the mistake. I'm going to see if I can get the flow workaround working as proposed in the last github link (MicrosoftDocs) I posted.
