Adaptive Cards with Microsoft Teams – JSON Templates Part 3

In a continuation of my earlier article, Adaptive Cards with Microsoft Teams with Examples, we continue with the details of how to create these Adaptive Cards authored with JSON templates. The templates can be used as-is, edited to suit your organization’s needs, or used as a launching point to customize your templates.

Samples and Templates of Adaptive Cards for Microsoft Teams

This is exciting as these select samples and templates are created and offered for Microsoft Teams to show what you can create. These can be copied, edited, and tweaked to create any possible scenario. There are limitless scenarios to design and create.
