Hi community,

in order to use AdaptiveChoice I trigger a notification with "run command ..." which will trigger another command via button after the user has made a selection.

Custom Command>Notification>Selection>Submit>Custom Command

This works because I know my own chat ID.

But how can I get the chat ID dynamically in the automation script, depending on which user called the command from Teams?

For this specific case I found a solution by replaceing chatIntegrationHelper.Teams.TrySendChatNotification whith engine.AddScriptOutput. But it would be nice to know if it is possible in general.

Hi Felix,

When a custom command is triggered, the automation script is ran in the name of that user's linked DataMiner account, so you always know who clicked the button. You are able to fetch the private chat of a given user with the Chat Integration nuget.

Note that someone can also click the button in a channel if it was sent/ran from there, so you cannot know it up front. If you want to send something in the chat/channel where it was clicked (not only in private to the user who clicked it) you can do it with the output (engine.AddScriptOutput, also supports adaptive card output)

Thank you Jordy.
Do you mean via chatIntegrationHelper.Teams.TryGetPrivateChat(email)?
How do I get the user’s e-mail address?
I only know engine.UserDisplayName/UserLoginName.

Jordy Ampe [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 16th February 2024

Yes, I would have expected that you can get the email value from the DataMiner account but it doesn’t seem to be possible in Automation right now.
I will check if I can provide the email address of the user who clicked the button as a parameter input on the automation script by default.

Jordy Ampe [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 16th February 2024

Hi, I can confirm I will be able to do it this way. I will continue the implementation next week and reply here when it goes live so you will be able to use it as well. The DataMiner bot will basically check if the custom command requests the ‘dataminer.services User Email’ as parameter input, and if so, the DataMiner bot will not request that input from the user but provide the custom command the email address of the authenticated user clicking the button.
