Referral events should send an event according to the documentation here. See #2 for more information.
I am trying to receive this event, however, it does not seem as though the event is sent to the bot framework. We verified that the permission is granted with Facebook Messenger setup. I am using nGrok and can see all messages routed to the bot, however, this event does not show up when using an http://m.me/ link
Are these events supported?
You need to subscribe to Referral Messages in the Facebook Messenger Developer Portal. Open the settings blade on the left, scroll down to webhooks, and hit edit events.
Then enable messaging referrals and click save.
When the user clicks on the m.me link it will open the conversation and send a message activity to the bot. Note, I could only get this behavior to work if I added a ref parameter to the link - https://m.me/<PAGE_NAME>?ref=<VALUE>.
Hope this helps!

I am working on a slack app that can be installed in any channel. It is possible or is there any slack method that allows you to open the slack app home tab from the channel. I mean a method that can navigate the user from the channel to the slack app home-tab
Send a slack message to users with #appname. For example "Click here to open the #ACME Dashboard" (assuming "ACME Dashboard" is the name of your app). #ACME Dashboard will turn into a clickable link that jumps to the app home page. It'll also add the app for users that haven't already added the app.
At least, this worked for me in limited testing with myself and one other person, so I hope it works for you. I haven't tried to figure it out, but I'm sure there's a way to send the '#app name' as part of a message from the API.
How is this class used? If there is a submit button using Action.Submit on an adaptive card, how does the Microsoft Bot get this message?
So this question doesn't get flagged as too generic, there is a Webex adapter connected to a Microsoft bot using this exact demo.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-service-adapter-connect-webex?view=azure-bot-service-4.0
The OnMessageActivityAsync message gets the message from the bot, for example, if the user types "Hello", and the bot responds back with an adaptive card that has the action "Action.Submit" that will give the user a card with a submit button. Now, if the user clicks "submit", Webex should send something back to the bot. I don't think it's a message, because I never receive a message. Webex has, on it's side of documentation, a webhook with ActionAttachments. But after creating this webhook and clicking submit, what is the bot supposed to receive?
The answer to this was to change the Webex access token from the auto-generated token to the bot's access token. After doing this, the Action Attachment was working and the bot received the Event Activity.
I'm trying to get the event to be triggered when someone sends a message on a private conversation in slack, I've already registered the event subscription (message.im) in the subscribe to bot events section, made sure that the needed scope was added (im:history), and reinstalled the app on my workspace.
Also tried signing out of the workspace and logging in again.
Yet, even if it is the admin sending a message to a user or a user sending a message to the admin (or in any other case with other users) the Event is not being triggered.
Any help or suggestion of why could this be happening?
Thanks!
You receive this event when a user sends a direct message to your bot/app.
You wouldn't receive this event when a user sends a message to another user, because the bot is not a part of that conversation.
When someone mentions a specific username by their handle in Slack, the user typically gets notified about that mention by Slack. I would like to make a Slack app that subscribes to those notifications for the current user. Any time a user gets notified that they were directly mentioned, I'd like to be informed of that in my app, along with the contents of that message.
I've looked through the API docs for quite a while and I can't seem to find support for this functionality. Am I missing something? Can this be done?
There is no event in the Slack Event API that handles mentions of users (although if you create a slack bot you can handle mentions of the slack bot's user with the app_mention event).
You can still listen for the message event and manually look through the text for any #UserMentions and handle them there. Note that this will only work for channels that the Slackbot has been granted access to.
In a Slack conversation, is it possible to click on a button to send a message to the Slack channel?
The Slack conversation could be:
The user types a word (or message)
A slackbot shows some text and two buttons
The user clicks on a button to send a TEXT message to the Slack channel
The Slackbot reacts on the 'action' message.
It is not possible to create an REST service for my Slackbot, because the Slackbot is behind a firewall. So, registering commands is not possible.
So sending a message as the result of a button click is needed. The Slackbot can react on that message.
I read that attachments could be a good way to do this, BUT the is 'outmoded'.
I tried to send an secondary attachment, which is outmoded, but that was not possible.
The next approach was adding a webhook. So pushing a button resulted in using the url, but that is of course not possible because I cannot send a POST request via a simple (get) url.
Please give a short example.
This will not work.
Every interactive feature (e.g. buttons) require your app to be able to receive POST requests from Slack through the public Internet. Since you say you can not provide that (e.g. behind a company firewall) you will not be able to use any interactive features.
