`I have a scenario as described:
When user says hi, the bot shows the adaptive cards (with Action.Submit on each card). ----Suppose the cards are as: 1. Book tickets 2. Need Help
3. Cancel
whenever user click any of the option ,i get the same user clicked value. Like
If the user selects "Need help". I get the same value..
then i am getting input from user like any question(query).
Then this query will go to the specific intent from dispatcher but its not going to intent from dispatcher and showing error (object reference not set to an instance of an object)
so what should i do?
for reference i already gone through this link "How to retrieve user entered input in adaptive card to the c# code and how to call next intent on submit button click"
it should take value from the dispatcher bot after user input.
