I developed a chatbot and deployed it on skype. I have one new thing to be added to bot.
If a user requests for a office cab in bot then bot has to take user input(like destination, emp-name, etc) and send an email to a particular mail ID(outlook).
So my question is:
How to trigger an email from Bot?
You can use SendGrid.
Here with example code.
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp.sendgrid.net");
mail.From = new MailAddress("youremailaddress#gmail.com");
mail.To.Add(useremail);
mail.Subject = "";
mail.Body ="";
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("apikey", "");
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
SmtpServer.Send(mail);

I have a .Net Core MVC Web application that authenticates the user using AzureAD. At some stage I need to send an e-mail on behalf of that user.
I searched for some options and apparently I can do that using Microsoft Exchange Service or Office365 but for both options I need to get the user's credential.
An example using Office365 is below however I do not know how to user the signed in info to pass to the SMTP server.
My (partial) HomeController:
private readonly ClaimsPrincipal _principal;
public HomeController(IPrincipal principal){
_principal = principal as ClaimsPrincipal;
}
I can use _principal.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Upn).Value to get the user's e-mail address but how do I get the password?
Am I in the right path or am I missing anything?
public static void SendEmail(string toAddress, string fromAddress, string subject, string content)
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("", "");
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.office365.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
MailMessage newMail = new MailMessage();
newMail.To.Add(toAddress);
newMail.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress);
newMail.Subject = subject;
newMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
newMail.Body = "<html><body>" + content + "</body></html>";
client.Send(newMail);
}
I'm sorry if this is a broad question but I really need some light on how to achieve this. I'm happy to provide more details if necessary.
At some stage I need to send an e-mail on behalf of that user.
Per my understanding, you could use the cloud-based email service SendGrid to handle email delivery on behalf of your authenticated user's email address. The code for sending the email to test02#example.com for the user test01#example.com would look like this:
var client = new SendGridClient("<SendGrid-ApiKey>");
var msg = new SendGridMessage()
{
From = new EmailAddress("test01#example.com", "test01"),
Subject = "Hello World from the SendGrid CSharp SDK!",
PlainTextContent = "Hello, Email!",
HtmlContent = "<strong>Hello, Email!</strong>"
};
msg.AddTo(new EmailAddress("test02#example.com", "Test02"));
var response = await client.SendEmailAsync(msg);
Detailed tutorial, you could follow sendgrid-csharp.

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.
Have been facing an issue since days about EWS. So my scenario is;
I was to programmatically sync GMAIL and EXCHANGE ONLINE. So here is what I have done;
Connect to Gmail using Gmail API
Fetch mail from gmail get the email body, to, from, attachment and
all other thing
connect to Exchange online using EWS 2.0
Now the problem is here, how can I create an email in Inbox which looks like incoming mail from the sender;
Here is the code I have done;
_service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
_service.TraceEnabled = true;
_service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("admin#xyz.onmicrosoft.com", "password");
_service.Url = new Uri("https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx");
_service.ImpersonatedUserId = new ImpersonatedUserId(ConnectingIdType.SmtpAddress, "xyz#xyz.onmicrosoft.com");
EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage(_service);
Random r = new Random();
message.Subject = "Email Message";
message.From = new EmailAddress("xyz#gmail.com");
message.Sender = new EmailAddress("xyz#gmail.com");
message.Body = new MessageBody(BodyType.HTML, "<HTML><body><h1>This is a voice mail.</h1></BODY></HTML>");
message.ToRecipients.Add(new EmailAddress(""));
message.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox);
This way its creating an email in inbox but it shows as a draft mail. I dont want it, I want it to look as RECEIVED mail.
Am I doing anything wrong?
You need to set a couple of properties before saving the message.
// Set a delivery time
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagMessageDeliveryTime =
new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x0E06, MapiPropertyType.SystemTime);
DateTime deliveryTime = DateTime.Now; // Or whatever deliver time you want
message.SetExtendedProperty(PidTagMessageDeliveryTime, deliveryTime);
// Indicate that this email is not a draft. Otherwise, the email will appear as a
// draft to clients.
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS_msgflag_read = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(3591, MapiPropertyType.Integer);
message.SetExtendedProperty(PR_MESSAGE_FLAGS_msgflag_read, 1);
These properties aren't settable after the items is saved, so it's important to do it before the first Save call.
I am trying to send email in custom workflow activity using SMTPClient instead of using Email entity and SendEmailRequest in MS Dynamics CRM custom workflow activity.
The reason I am doing this is because I want to send an calendar meeting invitation to the customer and not the email. For basics I got the code below:
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("you#yourcompany.com", "user#hotmail.com");
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 25;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Host = "smtp.google.com";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.Body = "this is my test email body";
client.Send(mail);
I intend to use DDay.iCal for the purpose.
Now this might seem to be a very basic question but I am stuck in how to get the Host name value in the custom workflow activity (instead of smtp.google.com).
Please advise.
Thanks,
I figured it out. It was in my email router configuration in "Email Server" column.
What is the Native Content URI for SMS Drafts?
You can open each SMS message part by opening different ways.
Inbox = "content://sms/inbox"
Failed = "content://sms/failed"
Queued = "content://sms/queued"
Sent = "content://sms/sent"
Draft = "content://sms/draft"
Outbox = "content://sms/outbox"
Undelivered = "content://sms/undelivered"
All = "content://sms/all"
Conversations = "content://sms/conversations".
Content Provider URI for SMS is commonly
content://sms/...
and for SMS Drafts it is
content://sms/drafts/
