So I’m using Heroku to run my discord bot with github connected, but everytime I try to add an update, the user’s currency or details always get resets. Anyway to fix this?

We have a notification only teams bot that is live for a number of customers in production.
Most of the time when it is installed it calls our messaging endpoint and updates the conversation ID so we can send teams notifications to our customers, however sometimes it seems to fail to do this for some reason so our systems don’t get a conversation ID.
We tried incrementing the version number of the teams bot and that didn’t seem to help.
Is there some way to get the conversation ID updated after initial installation?
Answer after contacting Microsoft Support is that it is impossible. The best solution is to have a non-notification only bot and then it works as you'd expect.
I have created one Chatbot using MS Bot Framework. Also added that in My Teams App. But not able to send messages to the users who not installed that app in there Teams. I just wanted to check if there is any provision to send the message to the users who not installed the Bot to there Teams App.
There is no way to send proactive messages to users who have not installed and interacted with your bot. Your bot has no way of knowing who those users are. If a user wants to communicate with the bot, they must install the app.
Adding to this. I ran into a similar issue where I had a Teams app that uses a notification style bot to send one-way notifications to users. The only way I was able to communicate to them was by getting the user context via an app install event. When an install event is captured, I save that users' context into a SQL database table in the event of the bot being restarted (then reload on start).
You can use the Graph API to install the bot automatically (see Proactive installation of apps using Graph API to send messages) or install it via a MS Teams app setup policies (see Install apps).
Edit: I'm using Django and inside the DjangoInstallationStore.save method I create a channel, join the bot to it, and post a message into the channel.
It seems that if a user attempts to install the app to a workspace where there might be admin restrictions, the installation and bot are created but the channel cannot be created (restricted_action) or joined (channel_not_found ) and the members of the channel cannot be viewed (channel_not_found).
I'm investigating if I have a bug in my code but also wonder if there is anything I missed about Slack API as to if certain restrictions in the workspace could cause such scenarios to happen? Cheers.
I'm trying to build a personal Teams bot which has to send proactive messages regularly. I made it work by storing the conversation when the user installed the app, just like the examples here. Now it works great, but I realized that I keep messaging users that have uninstalled my application. I can't seem to find any event that is triggered when a user uninstalls a personal scoped bot (app).
I tried conversation events, but nothing seems to be triggered for personal scoped bots at least.
I'm using the NodeJs botbuilder SDK.
Open to any suggestions, thanks.
To my knowledge, there is no such event unfortunately. I think you'll just receive a 403 at the moment without much info. This is due to change though - Microsoft just made an announcement about this yesterday in fact. See https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/best-practices-and-updates-for-bot-lifecycle-events-in-microsoft-teams/ in the paragraph "Changes to post uninstall behavior for bots in personal scope":
Moving forward we’ll also align the post uninstall behavior for bots in the personal scope with the teams and groupChat scopes and you will not be able to send or receive messages after an app has been uninstalled. Your bot will receive a 403 response code to new messages posted by your bot. The 403 response code will have fields telling you the reason behind the it – which is either the app was uninstalled or the bot was blocked. We expect these changes to roll out in the coming few months.
I try to write an app for Microsoft Teams which does include a Bot.
The bot should write a welcome message as soon as the app is installed by the user in his personal scope. Additionally I want to be informed when the user uninstalled an app.
There are events when a new user is added/removed to a team (onTeamsMemberAdded/onTeamsMemberRemoved) in which the bot is installed, but is there also something for the personal scope?
onTeamsMemberAdded should deal with personal scope as well, and it will enable you to send a welcome message. However, there is unfortunately no way to get notified when your bot is removed. onTeamsMemberRemoved only applies when your bot is part of a group chat, or channel, and only tells if other users have been removed. This is a missing feature in Teams right now.
