How to get "iCalUId" from Office365 connector in Microsoft Logic Apps? - outlook

I have an Azure Logic App that consists in getting events info by a given Id. I use Office365 Get Event Connector but it doesn't retrieve iCalUId.
Remember that Outlook events have two "ids":
id: Unique identifier in resource calendar.
iCalUId: Unique identifier in ALL attendees calendar.
I need the last one.
Is there any way to obtain it?

Might be a little late for you, but for anyone else landing here iCalUid was added to the connector recently.

Can I create a configuration page for a Teams bot app?

I'm building my first Teams app which will have two primary functions:
Proactively send a message to the channel (the bot is installed into) when a specific event occurs on my backend.
Members of the channel reacts to the message via actions.
I finally have a pretty good idea of how to set this up (I think) - but one part I'm missing is that in order to identify the specific app installation as belonging to one of my customers, I need to be able to allow the installing user to supply extra information like e.g. an API-key so that I can associate the specific channel with my specific customer.
Is there any way of doing this with a bot app? I've found examples for creating a configuration page, but they all seem to be associated with tab apps?
I could of cource have the bot ask the user for the information - but maybe there's a "cleaner" way?
Any examples or tutorials would be greatly appreciated as I find it rather hard to get stuff working using Microsoft's own examples etc. :)
Thanks a lot!
When you receive any message from the user, either by typing to your bot, or even installing it into a channel, group chat, or personal context (where you get the conversationUpdate event), you are able to get specific details off of the activity object. If the user sends a message, for instance, then the text property on the activity object will have a value. Incidentally, this is the same activity you will use to get the conversation details you need for the Proactive message.
With regards your question, the activity class also includes a tenantId property, hanging off the conversation property. This is the unique Microsoft 365 Id for the tenant, which would be what I'd suggest to uniquely identify them for your API, or licensing, or similar.

Outlook / Exchange API (Microsoft Graph?)

I am making a quick program that can check another users Outlook calendar and book an appointment. The booking part is fine, but I am looking at a way to return other users calendar information, without having to link a calendar to Outlook first.
I was thinking that there would be an API or a way to access this information either via 365 or the exchange server. There is this (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/office-365-api/?redirectedfrom=MSDN#Getevents) but it doesn't seem to do what I am after and is also deprecated with an end date within a year
I have read about Microsoft Graph but in reading it refers to 'users calendar', can this do calendars for a specific user that isn't me?
GET /me/calendar/calendarView?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime}
If so, does anyone know how?
Thank you
You can access user's calendar by calling the following endpoint
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendarView?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime}
Resource:
List calendarView

Outlook Graph email API: Threaded Email Conversations

I have an application that I have to integrate with the outlook via Graph API. I need to retrieve the conversations which I am getting using the Graph Mail API. But the graph API is not able to return the object of the email in the form of threads(like that of a conversation thread between two email ids). Also, there is no field in the object that can specify to which thread a particular email belongs so that I can group them in my app.
Is there any way I can achieve the same.
Honestly, I think there is some severe lack of documentation on this everyday use case.
The solution it seems is to filter your messages by the conversationId.

Add unique key of my own to slack event requests

I created a slack app with distribution (multiple clients)
and I subscribe to events several events like a message posted in a channel.
Beside the team_id field for identifying the client team - is there an ability to put my own key for a client?
Thank you.
No, Sack does not store any custom data for you. Its your job as an app developer to store all team related information for your app and link it to the Slack team_id. This is usually done with a database.
You can however include custom IDs with Slack requests, e.g. in the response you get from an interactive message. See this answer for more details on how this works.

Uniquely identify user in Microsoft Bot Framework Web Chat

I want to uniquely identify users in Web Chat and store information particular to the user.
As far as I know Web Chat does not support channel data, so is there any way to identify users?
Can anyone help me on this issue?
The activity that your bot receives and send contains a From and a Recipient property that you can inspect to get details about the user, including the Id.
