Working on a voice bot that will take as input the voice, I have two concerns.
Technology(.net), Framework(BotFrameWork v4)
The Bot Emulator doesn't contain the recording icon, how to bring that. If by putting the microsoft app id and password, It shows up then where to get these credentials for local development and testing.
How to give the response input to the bot, v4 documentation is a way too confusing for me, I would like someone to tell me specifically what im looking for.
Thanks
You need to add your app id and password to the development endpoint in your bot file to enable the microphone feature on the emulator.
If your bot file has a production endpoint, you can likely find the app id and password there. Most bot files are encrypted, so I would recommend retrieving the id and password through the emulator. In the emulator, right click on production under the Endpoint section on the left and then select Edit Configuration. This should open a window where you can copy the app id and password.
If your bot file does not have a production endpoint and you don't have the app id and password stored somewhere else, you will have to follow this guide to register your bot on the Azure Portal.
Now that you have the app id and password for your bot, you need to add them to the development endpoint in your bot file. Once again, most bot files are encrypted, so open your bot in the BotFramework Emulator. Right click on development under the Endpoint section on the left, and select Edit Configuration. It will open a screen where you can add the Application id and password that we retrieved in the previous step.
Now run your bot and connect to it in the emulator. You should be able to use the microphone to talk to your bot. When the user talks to the bot, the emulator will convert the user's voice to text and will send the message to the bot as an activity like any other interaction the user has with the bot.

I have enabled Skype channel for my bot which on top of chat window shows option to login. I am unable to login using my work ID, rather I could login with my personal Microsoft account.
I could not find much documentation on this. How can I enable bot so that bot users can login only with their work email id?
This is the expected behavior as Skype doesn't let you create an account anymore with a business email address. If you want to test your bot by connecting it to Skype channel, then you can use your personal account. The Skype for Business channel is specifically designed for the usage of work email ID but it is being deprecated on the Bot Framework. I would suggest you to connect the bot to Microsoft Teams to login using work email ID.
I am enabling slack channel in MS bot framework. All mentioned steps are done and from my own ID i am able to communicate with bot.
However, I when I give "Add to Slack" button to another slack user, it asks for permissions. After allowing the permission, the user is transferred to https://bots.botframework.com/ webpage where following is written:
Persmissions snapshot: Permissions snapshot before bot framework page
error page
The Bot Directory is no longer accepting new submissions. Add your bot to the Bing channel so users will not only be able to find it, but chat with it too
I have already enabled bot for public in slack settings, and users should be able to chat with bot who have the ID of bot.
Looks like some change has been done from Microsoft, which I am not aware of. Ideally it should take the user to conversation page
In order for user to chat with your bot on Slack, you DO NOT need to use that link to connect them. The method you're attempting is to give them a roundabout admin access, which won't actually work.
In order for your users to communicate with your bot, once it's properly connected to Slack, they can simply select it on the app list, like so:
Additionally, you as the admin, can add the bot to a particular channel, where the users can chat with the bot directly.
I have created bots using the azure portal, which auto creates a bot app resource in azure. When I click on this resource via the portal, I can access the bot by opening the chat window and can try out the bot.
I also created bot using visual studio, published it to the azure web and then configured a 'bot channels registration' bot to use this published bot.
All good so far.
Now I am trying to go through the ready made Microsoft examples from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/dotnet/bot-builder-dotnet-samples?view=azure-bot-service-3.0
I opened the "Create new conversation" link from the above website (https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/CSharp/core-CreateNewConversation). I scroll down and click on "Deploy to Azure" button and the deploy is successful. How do I access the bot now?
I have tried creating the 'bot channels registration' bot and setting the messaging endpoint to the https://DeployedExampleAzureWebsiteLink/api/messages. Now, when I go into this azure resource, and into the test chat window, my message does not get delivered to the bot, and same issue upon retry aswell.
How do I access this bot please?
When you click deploy to Azure you get an option to fill out the Microsoft App Id and Password.
You are supposed to enter the same App Id and Password you gave while registering the Bot in the Bot channel registration
I am trying to implement a bot in my website using the botbuilder framework for node.js. The function builder.ChatConnector() get the parameters appId and appPassword, does any one knows where can i found these appId and appPassword? It isn't clear for me in the microsoft documentation. The function is shown above:
function builder.ChatConnect
BotFramework documentation
You can find this information when you create your bot in Azure Bot Service, or when you proceed to register your bot at the dev portal.
Here's a brief walkthrough for registering through the dev portal with the minimum requirements. You'll need to fill out the name, bot handle and description for the bot as indicated below:
After this, you can scroll down and click on the button that says "Create Microsoft App ID and password".
Once you click on the button you'll be taken to a page with your bot name, your newly-generated App ID, and another button that allows you "Generate a password to continue".
After you click the button a small window will pop up with your password which you need to keep track of as it is only shown once!
NOTE: For developing and testing using the Emulator, you don't need this information just yet. You only need the AppID and password when you are making your bot public facing/deploying it.
You need to register your bot in https://dev.botframework.com/ and there you will get those values. Check this article that explains how to do that.
I have created a bot application and published it to azure. When I test this bot using Emulator it works fine but when I use the web chat control it doesn't show anything . I am using the correct app-secret .
The link to web chat is here . My bot is hosted on azure .Here is the link of Message Endpoint= https://bingsearchandemotionbotv3.azurewebsites.net/api/messages
The first thing to check: If you go into your bot management page on https://dev.botframework.com/bots and press the blue "Test" button on the bottom left ("Test connection to your bot"), does it indicate that the bot accepts the connection by the bot framework middleware?
If not, then there might be something wrong with your bot. It will actually give you some indications. If it's "forbidden", then you might have a problem with authentication (check your appId and appPassword). If it's an error, then your bot might have a code issue / exception.
If the connection has been accepted, check if your web chat credentials have been validated. To do so, click on the "Edit" link next to the Web Chat channel on the bot management page. Try regenerating your credentials and (most importantly) make sure you checked "Enable this bot on Web Chat" and confirm.
