Create and Send Hero Cards in your Proactive Message / Notification to Teams Bot using C# Console App

Create and Send Hero Hero in your Proactive Messages or Notifications to Microsoft Teams Bot using C# Console Application using Microsoft Bot Framework v4.

Hero cards or any attachments are the files that we wish to add along with the message in Chatbots. These help a better understanding of the message.

Hero cards contain the same information as thumbnail cards, just with a larger or more pronounced layout for the card images.
