Interacting with the app in Teams

1. In Teams, Once the app is successfully installed in a group chat, ping the bot by @mentioning it. Bot will reply with a card showing that the person has initiated the incident.

2. Using refresh activity only the person who has initiated will be able to proceed further by entering the details of the incident and assign it to a person from the group chat, while others in the group chat will still be able to see only the initiated card.

3. User who has initiated the incident will be able to enter the details using the series of cards in a sequential flow and submit it for the further approval/rejection process.

4. Once the details are submitted and assigned to a person from the group chat, it will send an updated card to the chat with all the entered details.

5. Now, only the person assigned to will be able to either approve or reject it.

6. After the approval/rejection of the card, the final updated card will be sent to the group chat.
