Sometimes you need your conversational AI application to inject dynamic values into prompts or content that you serve to users.

This is a common scenario when consuming data from internal or external APIs.

This guide will show you how to dynamically pass values to adaptive cards and multi-choice prompts in UI builder.

Specifically, you will learn:

• how to fetch data from an API web request
• how to inject dynamic content into a multichoice prompt
• how to inject dynamic content into an adaptive card
• how to use adaptive expressions to parse data from an API web request.

Demos of each of these in action are included and a sample application is available for download at the end of this guide.

Prerequisites

Before working through this guide, the following will be useful:

• proficient in using UI builder to create prompts and capture data
