Create a group chat using proactive message bot framework - botframework

I'm working on a adaptive card and having a button on card which is a choice card as show card, on click of submit of that choice card i want to start a group chat with the select users.
I'm trying to do it using proactive message for group chat but didnt got any internet ref for the code using c#.
Can anyone suggest some ref for that.
var conversationParameters = new ConversationParameters
{
IsGroup = true,
Members = new ChannelAccount[] { channelAccount1, channelAccount2, activity.Recipient, activity.From },
Activity = (Activity)message
};
var identity = new MicrosoftAppCredentials(MicrosoftAppId, MicrosoftAppPassword);
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(activity.ServiceUrl);
var connectorClient = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl), identity);
ConversationResourceResponse CreateConversationResponse = await connectorClient.Conversations.CreateConversationAsync(conversationParameters);
I'm getting bad request error

Change notification text when bot sends an adaptive card in Microsoft Teams?

I am developing a bot with microsoft BotFramework.When bot sends an adaptive card the notification text is "Sent a Card".
Is there a way to modify this text?
Yes, you can change the text on the notification using "Summary" property of an activity.
You can go ahead and try out this sample code:
var response = MessageFactory.Text(string.Empty);
AdaptiveCard ad = new AdaptiveCard();
ad.Body = new List<AdaptiveElement>() {
new AdaptiveTextBlock()
{
Text= "testing",
Id ="testing"
}
};
Attachment att = new Attachment()
{
Content=ad,
ContentType= AdaptiveCard.ContentType
};
response.Attachments.Add(att);
response.Summary = "showing custom greeeting from the Bot - rather than send a card";
context.SendActivityAsync(response, cancellationToken);

Send proactive message to Teams channel from bot

I'm having an Adaptive card with a share button, on click of that button I have shared that card to other Teams channel, as of now I'm able to send the message to the same Teams channel, but while sending to other teams channel it giving me Error.
Below is the code i'm using:
var tenantID = activity.GetTenantId();
var message = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
message.Text = "Hello World";
var conversationParameters = new ConversationParameters
{
IsGroup = true,
ChannelData = new TeamsChannelData
{
Channel = new ChannelInfo("ID of Channel to which message is to be sent"),
Team = new TeamInfo("ID of team to which message to be sent", "Name of team");
Tenant = new TenantInfo(tenantID),
Notification = new NotificationInfo(true)
},
Activity = (Activity)message
};
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(activity.ServiceUrl, DateTime.MaxValue);
var connectorClient = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
await connectorClient.Conversations.CreateConversationAsync(conversationParameters);
MS Teams is quite picky (for a reason) when it comes to bot-id etc. You need to make sure that you have the same bot id configured in code and in your manifest.
On top of that, when you get the "Unable to reach the app" message, that most likely means your bot messaging endpoint (configured in the bot options on azure or on dev.botframework.com ) does not point to the correct url.
In general you can not send a message to a user who never interacted with your bot before in a 1:1 conversation and you can not send a message to any teams your bot is not added to as a member.

Bot Framework Adpative Forms - Submit Action not working

I am trying to create an Adaptive forms using c#. I have installed Microsoft.AdaptiveCards Nuget package with Version 0.5.1 and Bot Builder version is 3.14.1.1.
My card has rendered correctly in Skype channel. But on click of Submit button, Forms input data Json is not passing to the Bot framework Post Activity. Submit Type is "Action.Submit". But this is working in Web chat.
I am using the below code.
var Makedmessage = context.MakeMessage();
AdaptiveCards.AdaptiveCard card = new AdaptiveCards.AdaptiveCard();
Attachment attach = new Attachment();
attach.ContentType = AdaptiveCards.AdaptiveCard.ContentType;
card.Body = new List<CardElement>() { new TextBlock() { Text = "Present a form and submit it back to the originator" }, new TextInput() { Id = "firstName", Placeholder = "What is your first name?" }, new TextInput() { Id = "lastName", Placeholder = "What is your last name?" } };
card.Actions = new List<ActionBase>() { new SubmitAction() { Title = "Action.Submit" } };
attach.Content = card;
Makedmessage.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.Carousel;
Makedmessage.Attachments.Add(attach);
await context.PostAsync(Makedmessage, CancellationToken.None);
Also attached the Screenshot.
How can I resolve this?
Adaptive cards are still under development for Skype channel. You will have to look for other alternative feature like multi dialog or formflow by Bot Framework to get the details of the user.

MS Teams - Don't show notification of specific message in the activity feed

Question
I have a simple Bot for MS Teams developed in C# with the Bot Builder SDK 3.15.0.0 targeting .NET framework 4.7.1.
When mentioned, it retrieves the Jira ticket Ids in the message and returns a single reply with a list of Cards, each one displaying a summary of a Jira Issue.
I'd like to know if it's possible to not populate the activity feed when sending the reply with the card attachments as it's not needed for my use case.
Example
This is how I usually build the reply to a user message
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.List;
reply.Attachments = thumbnailCards;
await context.PostAsync(reply);
And this is what I tried after reading the docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/activity-feed#rest-api-sample
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.List;
reply.Attachments = thumbnailCards;
reply.ChannelData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
notification = new
{
alert = false
}
});
await context.PostAsync(reply);
I was hoping that setting the ChannelData with notification.alert = false would just disable the notifications, but it actually doesn't display any message.
Have you tried using the Teams nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Teams
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new TeamsChannelData()
{
Notification = new NotificationInfo(false)
});
Source for this package can be found here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/BotBuilder-MicrosoftTeams/
The alert you are getting in the activity feed is simply the "someone replied to your message" alert and is nothing special coming from the bot. This notification in the activity feed cannot be disabled as of now. Other team members won't receive this alert in activity feed unless they are following the same channel.
Sending notification using Rest API is designed to work for 1:1 chat.

Sending message from bot to a Skype User using Botframework Version 3

Updated
I am developing a Skype bot with 1:1 conversation with Bot Framework.
In that I have a WebHook method which will call from an external service and sends message to my bot, then my bot will send that message to a skype user.
The following code is for v1 in message controller along with api/messages post method
public async Task<Message> Post([FromBody]Message message){}
[Route("~/api/messages/hook")]
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> WebHook([FromBody]WebHookMessage message)
{
if (message.Type == "EmotionUpdate")
{
const string fromBotAddress = "<Skype Bot ID here>";
const string toBotAddress = "<Destination Skype name here>";
var text = resolveEmoji(message.Data);
using (var client = new ConnectorClient())
{
var outMessage = new Message
{
To = new ChannelAccount("skype", address: toBotAddress , isBot: false),
From = new ChannelAccount("skype", address: $"8:{fromBotAddress}", isBot: true),
Text = text,
Language = "en",
};
await client.Messages.SendMessageAsync(outMessage);
}
}
return Ok();
}
I will call above WebHook from another service, so that my bot will send messages to the respective skype user.
Can anyone please help me how can I achieve the same in V3 bot framework?
I tried the following but not working
const string fromBotAddress = "Microsoft App ID of my bot";
const string toBotAddress = "skype username";
WebHookMessage processedData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<WebHookMessage>(message);
var text = resolveEmoji(processedData.Data);
using (var client = new ConnectorClient(new Uri("https://botname.azurewebsites.net/")
, "Bot Microsoft App Id", "Bot Microsoft App secret",null))
{
var outMessage = new Activity
{
ReplyToId = toBotAddress,
From = new ChannelAccount("skype", $"8:{fromBotAddress}"),
Text = text
};
await client.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync(outMessage);
}
But it is not working, finally what I want to achieve is I want my bot send a message to a user any time how we will send message to a person in skype.
The following code works, but there are some things that are not that obvious that I figured out (tested on Skype channel)
When a user interacts with the bot the user is allocated an id that can only be used from a specific bot..for example: I have multiple bots each using a skype channel. When I send a message from my skype user to bot A the id is different than for bot B. In the previous version of the bot framework I could just send a message to my real skype user id, but not anymore. In a way it simplifies the whole process because you only need the recipient's id and the framework takes care of the rest, so you don't have to specify a sender or bot Id (I guessed all that is linked behind the scenes)
[Route("OutboundMessages/Skype")]
[HttpPost]
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendSkypeMessage(SkypePayload payload)
{
using (var client = new ConnectorClient(new Uri("https://skype.botframework.com")))
{
var conversation = await client.Conversations.CreateDirectConversationAsync(new ChannelAccount(), new ChannelAccount(payload.ToSkypeId));
IMessageActivity message = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
message.From = new ChannelAccount();
message.Recipient = new ChannelAccount(payload.ToSkypeId);
message.Conversation = new ConversationAccount { Id= conversation.Id };
message.Text = payload.MessageBody;
await client.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync((Activity)message);
}
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. If you'd like to answer a message (activity), try something like this:
ConnectorClient connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
var reply = activity.createReply(text, "en");
await connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(reply);
Activity.createReply switches the From and Recipient fields from the incoming activity. You can also try setting these field manually.
UPDATE
You need to create a ConnectorClient to the Skype Connector Service, not to your bot! So try with the Uri http://skype.botframework.com it might work.
However, I don't think you can message a user on Skype without receiving a message from it in the first place (i.e. your bot needs to be added to the user's contacts). Once you have an incoming message from the user, you can use it the create replies, just as described above.
WebHookMessage processedData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<WebHookMessage>(message);
var text = resolveEmoji(processedData.Data);
var client = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.serviceUrl));
var outMessage = activity.createReply(text);
await client.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync(outMessage);
activity is a message received from the given user earlier. In this case, activity.serviceUrl should be http://skype.botframework.com, but generally you should not rely on this.
You can try to create the activity (outMessage) manually; for that, I'd recommend inspecting the From and Recipient fields of a message coming from a Skype user and setting these fields accordingly. However, as mentioned before, your bot needs to be added to the user's contacts, so at this point it will have received a message from the user.
