Viva Connections: Create Bot-powered Adaptive Card Extensions

Alex Terentiev

Senior Dev Engineer @Microsoft. Microsoft 365 PnP Team Member.

Adaptive Card Extensions (ACEs) are a SharePoint Framework component type, which enables developers to build rich, native extensions to Viva Connections' Dashboards and SharePoint Pages.

Usually, ACEs are developed using SPFx and front-end development. But what if you have existing service that powers Microsoft Teams bots or Task modules that you want to reuse in ACEs?

During this session we will discuss how to use Bots and Universal Actions Model to create Adaptive Card Extensions for Viva Connections.
