Consider there is a action card response from the MS bot & it looks as follows in skype:
When this similar response comes in the REST APIs i.e using Direct Line APIs. The following is the relevant part of JSON response.
{
"id": "1t90Ym3PEry|000000000000000014",
"conversationId": "1t90Ym3PEry",
"created": "2016-12-06T09:34:55.6280699Z",
"from": "rich3cards",

},
{
"id": "1t90Ym3PEry|000000000000000014",
"conversationId": "1t90Ym3PEry",
"created": "2016-12-06T09:34:55.6280699Z",
"from": "rich3cards",
"text": "Hero Card\n\nSpace Needle\n\nThe <b>Space Needle</b> is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle.\n\n(Current Weather) action?weather=Seattle, WA",
"images": [],
"attachments": [],
"eTag": "W/\"datetime'2016-12-06T09%3A34%3A54.94083Z'\""
}
Now, the question is about how do we parse this json to get the button data [(Current Weather) action?weather=Seattle, WA"
] out of the text
attribute? Is the only way is patter match ?
Has anyone faced or know solution, please put some light here too ;)
Update: If its different channel like skype/webchat/etc.. the JSON response looks very proper to consume, following is the sample JSON.
