I am getting this error now when I tried to deploy a new skill to my virtual Assistant bot
Deployment failed. Correlation ID:
484cfdba-38bb-4d45-8358-9245aef97167. { "error": { "code":
"InvalidBotData", "message": "Bot is not valid. Errors: MsaAppId:
MsaAppId is already in use.. " } }
As per comments posted here, one app id can only be related to one bot.
So does that mean for each of the skill that I want to add to my Virtual Assistant bot, I need to create new MSA App ID ?
Yes, you need to have a separate MSA app (ID would be unique, password could be the same if you wish).
Each skill (along with the Virtual Assistant itself) is a bot framework bot. Each bot is at the simplest, a bot channels registration. Each registration maps to an app and needs to be unique.

I have a Teams Bot which can display a task module. This task module is a React app hosted in a separate Azure App Service in the same tenant and is accessible from a public endpoint. This React app is using the node package #microsoft/teams-js, and is calling getAuthToken() to try obtain a token from Teams for the user currently logged in.
The Bot's Teams manifest has been updated to include the following:
"webApplicationInfo": {
"id": "XXXXXX",
"resource": "api://PUBLIC-ENDPOINT-URL-OF-REACT-APP/XXXXXX"
}
where XXXXXX is the Bot's app id. The Bot's Application ID URI for the Bot's App registration also matches the webApplicationInfo.resource value, as mentioned in the documentation for enabling SSO.
When I call getAuthToken() I am receiving the error: Error: resourceDisabled.
Does anyone know what is triggering this error? I have been engaging with Azure support technicians who have been unable to provide any help. Thanks
I’ve just downloaded Teams Toolkit onto VSCode and used the plugin to create a Command Bot project. Completed all the prerequisites and configurations on my tenant (I’m the admin for our 365 business account)
Everything installs great.
I hit f5 to launch the debugger.
All prerequisite checks pass.
Chrome opens
I can [Add] my local debug bot into the web app version of teams
I go to send any message OR the helloWorld command that comes with the template app and it gives me “Failed to send message” error.
When I hit F12 to bring up the Chrome dev tools and go into the network tab to see the call that is being sent, I see and Error as the response payload: errorCode 201 errorSubCode 1 with the message “One or more of the user ids provided are not valid."
Payload:
{
"members": [
{
"id": "8:orgid:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"role": "Admin"
},
{
"id": "28:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"role": "Admin"
}
],
"properties": {
"threadType": "chat",
"chatFilesIndexId": "2",
"uniquerosterthread": "true",
"fixedRoster": "true"
}
}
Response
{
"errorCode": 201,
"message": "One or more of the user ids provided are not valid.",
"standardizedError": {
"errorCode": 201,
"errorSubCode": 1,
"errorDescription": "One or more of the user ids provided are not valid."
}
}
I haven’t written any custom code or made any changes. Just trying to launch the bot straight from Toolkit creation.
I've also tested the ngrok session that is connected to make sure that communication back to me is working fine. I see logging when I try to hit the ngrok url so I feel this is a failure at the point of Teams trying to send to their API.
I’ve followed all the steps in the documentation regarding setup. I would appreciate any help anyone would have on this.
Thank you
This is probably caused by incorrectly bot identity used in Teams channel registration in Bot Framework. Not quite sure what happen when calling the bot framework service to do the bot registration herre.
You can check if your App ID and password is correctly in Bot Framework registration:
The bot credentials in .fx configs:
The app password can be decrypted from local.userdata
To resolve this, could you please try one of the following solutions:
Create a new Command Bot and run F5 again.
Or, you can delete the local.userdata and state.local.json files in your current project. And then re-run F5, the toolkit should create a new AAD app for your bot registration in this case.
I'm trying to send a message to MS Teams using Graph API. I'm passing access token (AAD token) with it but still, it's giving me below error. I have given all the required permissions in Azure API permissions.

Oh, if this is from a bot (not clear from the original question, but clarified in your later comment) then you don't need to use the Graph API at all - there's another way to send the message using the Bot Framework tools instead. You can do this either from within your bot, or from a different application altogether. I've got a few bots where the user schedules something, like when they want a message sent, where the bot saves it to a database and I have another application (mostly I use Azure Functions right now) to send the item on that schedule.
There are some important pieces of information you need to store though, which you can get any time the users sends your bot a message - it's the information you need to store so that you know how to connect directly to that user and that conversation. It's called Pro-active Messaging, and to see how to do this, see the answer I posted at Programmtically sending a message to a bot in Microsoft Teams
If you DON'T have any conversation history with the user ever (as in they have never spoken with your bot before, and you're trying to send the first message) then it gets more complicated... Let me know if that's the case though.
Sending message to a channel using graph api is a protected api and it needs access permission from Microsoft.
Access can be requested from Microsoft access reuqest form.
Once access is given from Microsoft add graph api in api permissions of your web app, and bingo you can get the response.
I have created a proactive bot that basically asks certain questions to a user when a user starts conversation with the bot. The bot is deployed in Microsoft Teams environment. Is there any way that i can send automated message to a bot in a channel? I know messages can be sent using powershell by utilizing webhook url exposed by a particular team or using MS Flow. But I want to mention bot (e.g. #mybothandle) in the message so the bot starts asking questions by itself than requiring the user to start the conversation (by mentioning the bot manually) but not finding the way to mention.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Basically you want to message the user directly at a specific point in time (like 24 hours later). I'm doing this in a few different bots, so it's definitely possible. The link that Wajeed has sent in the comment to your question is exactly what you need - when the user interacts with your bot, you need to save important information like the conversation id, conversation type, service url, and To and From info. You can store this, for instance, in a database, and then you can actually have a totally separate application make the call AS IF IT WAS your bot. In my bots, for example, I have the bot hosted in a normal host (e.g. Azure Website) but then have an Azure Function that sends the messages, for example, 24 hours later. It just appears to the user as if it was a message from the bot, like normal.
You will also need the Microsoft App ID and App Password for your bot, which you should have already (if not, it's in the Azure portal).
In your "sending" application, you're going to need to create an instance of Microsoft. Bot.Connector.ConnectorClient, like follows:
var Connector = new ConnectorClient(serviceUrl, microsoftAppId: credentialProvider.AppId, microsoftAppPassword: credentialProvider.Password);
You also need to "trust" the service url you're calling, like this:
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(serviceURL);
Then you create an instance of Microsoft.Bot.Schema.Activity, set the required properties, and send it via the connector you created:
var activity = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
activity.From = new ChannelAccount([FromId], [FromName];
activity.Recipient = new ChannelAccount([ToId], [ToName]);
activity.Conversation = new ConversationAccount(false, [ConversationType], [ConversationId]);
activity.Conversation.Id = [ConversationId];
activity.Text = "whatever you want to send from the bot...";
Connector.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync((activity as Activity)).Wait();
All the items in square braces are what you get from the initial conversation the user is having with the bot, except that the From and To are switched around (when the user sends your bot a message, the user is the FROM and your Bot is the TO, and when the bot is sending you switch them around.
Hope that helps
To all Future Visitors, Microsoft Graph API (Beta) now provides a way to send message and mention the bot/user using following endpoint:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams/{group-id-for-teams}/channels/{channel-id}/messages
Method: POST
Body:
"body": {
"contentType": "html",
"content": "Hello World <at id=\"0\">standupbot</at>"
},
"mentions": [
{
"id": 0,
"mentionText": "StandupBot",
"mentioned": {
"application": {
"id": "[my-bot-id]",
"displayName": "StandupBot",
"applicationIdentityType": "bot"
}
}
}
]
}
However, there is a bug that bot doesn't respond when receives the message:
Bot is not responding to #Mention when sending message using Graph API
When a bot chat with a user individually or in a group, the API returns different user ids. How can I know it's the same person?
Skype user's information fields looks like the following "from": { "id": "29:1DwlGVzj.....", "name": "My Skype Name" } (and bot's id is "28:appId").
This user id is a specific to your bot, it is a hash but the way it is generated is not known (not open-source). But this id is identidical for a unique user when talking individually with the bot or inside a group conversation with the same bot.
See sample here, I just checked:
Direct message between user and bot:
Group conversation including same user and same bot:
I've hidden some characters of the id in case of... but I confirm they are exactly the same values.
