Adaptive cards
What are adaptive cards?
Adaptive cards are an open card exchange format that allows developers to exchange UI content in a common and consistent way.
How does adaptive cards work?
Card creators describe their content as a JSON object. This content can then be sent natively (which is interpreted on an application as if it was originally designed for it) inside a host application, automatically adapting to the appearance of the host.
For example, a Power Apps app can use Power Automate to create an adaptive card that looks like a Skype card, and when that content is sent to Microsoft Teams, it takes on the appearance of Skype. When more consumer apps support the adaptive card format, the same content will automatically appear in those apps and be adapted to look like those apps. Users are winners because everything looks familiar. Host apps are a winner because they control the user experience. Card creators are also winners, as the reach of their content expands without additional work. Read more
