Show user name of who created planner task on adaptive card

[Amy1349]

Good Morning, 

I am new to power automate but I have built a few flows that will post an adaptive card to Teams when a new task has been created. I am trying to make it show the user who created the task instead of showing my name since I am the owner. I have created the flow below but it keeps failing. I am not sure how to fix it. 

This is the error code that I receive when I test the flow. I can see in the "Adaptive Card" field that the information is correct but the flow fails. 

Microsoft.Azure.ProcessSimple.Data.Entities.Exceptions.ProcessSimpleDataException: The specified Teams flowbot adaptive card request is missing or invalid. The tracking Id is '{0}'. ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: C. Path '', line 0, position 0.

Hi @Amy1349 

In Adaptive Card field need to put JSON data in Post adaptive card in a chat or channel action.

For more info about adaptive card, you can refer to:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/create-adaptive-cards

I set up a simple flow, you can refer to below screenshots:

Adaptive Card:

{
  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.0",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Created by: @{outputs('Get_user_profile_(V2)')?['body/displayName']}"
    },
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Title: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/title']}"
    },
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Created Date: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/createdDateTime']}"
    },
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Due Date: @{triggerOutputs()?['body/dueDateTime']}"
    }
  ]
}

When a new task is created, a new message will be sent to Teams channel like below:

If you want to format Created Date and Due Date time to short date format, you can use the following formula:

Expression1:

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/createdDateTime'],'yyyy-MM-dd')

Expression2:

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/dueDateTime'],'yyyy-MM-dd')

Hope the content above may help you.

Best Regards.

Thanks! This was helpful! Also, is there a way to show who completed it or who it was assigned to in the adaptive card? I've tried to 'assigned' dynamic content such as value, useID, etc, but it keeps auto setting up 'apply to each' or the tests fail; the one time the test ran successfully it just had a string of alphanumeric test that didn't really help. I can't seem to find a way to have the card show both created by and assigned to in the card.... completed by would be ideal, but I'd settle for assigned to... any thoughts?
