For sending Adaptive card, use the following sample payload for HTML_CONTENT

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<script type="application/adaptivecard+json">
{
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "originator": "",
    "version": "1.0",
    "body": [
        {
            "size": "large",
            "text": "Hello Actionalbe message",
            "wrap": true,
            "type": "TextBlock"
        }
    ]
