Passing the value of the select list, to the callback url body on office365 connector card? (payload format) - office365connectors

Question

I'm trying to develop a connector.
I have created the card and the webhook and entered a callback URL to my node.js server for httpost action. I can't get the value of the select list to pass to my server when I click send.
I tried including a body string at the card but then I get
SyntaxError: Unexpected token # in JSON at position 0.
When I send without a body it communicates with my server but I cant get the values. I log the request and there are nowhere.
Below is the a section of the code sample of one office365 connector cards for outlook. It is written in the card reference that the httppost action can contain a body. So i assume this body will be sen to my server with the valu ethat i define. But when i include the body i get the above error and the action doesn't complete as it does without a body.

{ "display": "List 1", "value": 500 },
{ "display": "List 2", "value": 600 }
]
}

You're not telling Outlook which value you want to send. You need to tell it that you want to do a string replacement, otherwise you are litterally sending the string value in the body of your POST:
"body": "{ \"move\": \"{{move.value}}\" }"
Using your complete example:
{
"#type": "ActionCard",
"name": "Move",
"inputs": [
{
"#type": "MultichoiceInput",
"id": "move",
"title": "Pick a list",
"choices": [
{ "display": "List 1", "value": 500 },
{ "display": "List 2", "value": 600 }
]
}
],
"actions": [
{
"#type": "HttpPOST",
"name": "Save",
"target":
"https://aptdevserver.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/chat/messages/create",
"body": "{ \"move\": \"{{move.value}}\" }",
"bodyContentType": "application/json"
}
]
}
