Closing task module from Bot (back-end) in nodeJS

[atymic]

See the issue https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/832 It provides the way to do it for c# (turnContext.SendActivityAsync(new Activity { Value = null, Type = ActivityTypesEx.InvokeResponse });) How can we do this in node?

Hi @Vikram-MSFT Returning null also gives an error on teams, saying the response is invalid

Works:

return {
      statusCode: 200,
      task: {
        type: 'message',
        value: 'SMS Sent successfully! You can close this dialog'
      }
    }

Does not work

return {
      statusCode: 200,
    }

return null

return {
 statusCode: 200,
      task: null
    }

return {
      statusCode: 200,
      task: {
        type: 'message',
        value: null
      }
    }

return {
      statusCode: 200,
      task: {
        type: 'InvokeResponse',
        value: null
      }
    }

Hello @atymic To close a task module from a bot in Node.js, you can use the following code snippet: const response = { task: { type: 'message', value: 'Task module dismissed' } }; await turnContext.sendActivity({ value: response, type: 'invokeResponse' }); This will send an invokeResponse activity to the client, which will close the task module and display the message "Task module dismissed".

@atymic - You can call submitTask() without any parameters if you want Teams to close the dialog. Ref Doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/task-modules-and-cards/task-modules/task-modules-bots?tabs=nodejs#submit-the-result-of-a-dialog
