postBacks with the Bot Framework

[fbessez]

Hey,

I know in slackBots, that on a postBack, you can handle it with controller.on('postback_text', doThis) but how do i create a postBack in the botFramework such that the controller runs doThis.

As far as I know, any postBack on Bot Framework is returned as a user message so you would need to use controller.hears('postback_text', 'message_received', doThis) which is problematic as it will also hear a user simply typing in 'postback_text'.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44571198/bot-framework-event-for-postbacks says that we can use triggerActions as a work-around, but how does this work within the botkit framework?

Thanks
