I now use bot framework with Azure functions.
it now works when the user sends his message its writes it to queue storage then picked up by Azure function and sends it back to the bot with direct line build in Azure function connector.
I want to change the functionality to LogicAppp and return the answer to the user with direct-line with http rest.
I have a key and have a json input that the function got like this:
{
"relatesTo": {
"user": {
"id": "default-user",
"name": "User"
},
"bot": {
"id": "b5023440-b1ce-11e8-9ad8-f5b615a4c6c3",
"name": "Bot"
},
"conversation": {
"id": "33cd0410-bf46-11e8-a228-a5c7cd21a798|livechat"
},
"channelId": "emulator",
"serviceUrl": "https://0a87dff1.ngrok.io"
},
"text": "example",
"isTrustedServiceUrl": true
}
I try to answer the chat using
https://directline.botframework.com/v3/directline/conversations/{conversationId}/activitie
I can't make it work, the conversation id looks different, it's like a guid instead of an id.
how can help me with the right POST syntax from the json provided?

I have a use case where I need to show following information in my personal application.
List of channels in teams where bot is installed.
List of users in teams where bot is installed.
I was exploring connector client for the same and came up with following code:-
const credentials = new MicrosoftAppCredentials(appId, appPassword);
const connectorClient = new ConnectorClient(credentials, {
baseUri: serviceUrl
});
const token = await credentials.getToken();
axios.defaults.headers.common.Authorization = `Bearer ${ token }`;
# To get channels
const response = await axios.get(
'https://smba.trafficmanager.net/in/v3/teams/{teamId}/conversations'
);
# To get members
const users = await connectorClient.conversations.getConversationPagedMembers(teamId);
This works perfect as long as I have the teamId.
But the issue I am facing here is with respect to finding teamId in personal scope. I install my bot application as follows by choosing the Add option.
As far as I understand, the above installs the bot in the personal scope of the user. Now, in this scenario the team id information is not present in conversationUpdate event at all. Please note that this is the first time I am installing the bot in the team, so the data should be available as per Microsoft documentation, but the only information available in channel object is tenant.
{
"membersAdded": [
{
"id": "28:f5d48856-5b42-41a0-8c3a-c5f944b679b0"
}
],
"type": "conversationUpdate",
"timestamp": "2017-02-23T19:38:35.312Z",
"localTimestamp": "2017-02-23T12:38:35.312-07:00",
"id": "f:5f85c2ad",
"channelId": "msteams",
"serviceUrl": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/amer-client-ss.msg/",
"from": {
"id": "29:1I9Is_Sx0OIy2rQ7Xz1lcaPKlO9eqmBRTBuW6XzkFtcjqxTjPaCMij8BVMdBcL9L_RwWNJyAHFQb0TRzXgyQvA"
},
"conversation": {
"isGroup": true,
"conversationType": "channel",
"id": "19:efa9296d959346209fea44151c742e73#thread.skype"
},
"recipient": {
"id": "28:f5d48856-5b42-41a0-8c3a-c5f944b679b0",
"name": "SongsuggesterBot"
},
"channelData": {
// for me this object is empty
"team": {
"id": "19:efa9296d959346209fea44151c742e73#thread.skype"
},
"eventType": "teamMemberAdded",
"tenant": {
"id": "72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47"
}
}
}
Next, I also tried to install the bot in the team scope by using Add To Teams option. In this case it prompts me to select a channel to install, in which I choose general.
Now, I do get the team object inside channelData in onConversationUpdate and this flow works perfectly fine.
{
"membersAdded": [
{
"id": "28:64564f44-dd7c-441a-b427-efcd662f21b5"
}
],

}
}
}
So what I am trying to understand here is that, why is the information not coming in case the bot is installed in personal scope?
I am asking this mainly because without personal scope added for bot(i.e if I keep scope only as team), the application does not show for user, inside Apps. But if I allow the scope to be extended to personal the user might select that while installing the application and my teamId information will not be available to fetch the data, that I need.
This brings to my next question, which is, is there any way in which the default add button on the add app screen installs the bot in such a way that I get team object inside channelData, in conversationUpdate in every scenario, i.e whether I choose add or add to team?
Is this how it is supposed to behave or am I missing something. Would love to hear some thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.
It might be that you're over thinking this - here's a more simple view:
if you install a bot into a Team, you'll get a Team Id (and any related channel where it is installed).
if you have "personal" scope set up for the bot, then the user also has the option to install the bot into "personal" scope. As this implies, they are NOT installing the bot INTO an actual Team - that's why you're not receiving a Team Id. It's not broken - it's entirely correct.
If you don't WANT your bot to be able to be installed in personal scope, simply remove that option in your manifest (the "personal" scope) - you have the ability to choose because it depends what you're wanting the user to be able to do with your bot. Some bots only make sense inside a Team, others only in Personal Scope, others only in Group Chat or in a Meeting - you can allow your bot to installed in any/all of these are relevant.
I have created a bot for teams and added it to a channel (testChannel1) as a tab (using a configuration page). I have received a ConversationUpdate event to my server. When I try to send message using the context object that I have received in ConversationUpdate event the message was sent in General channel instead of testChannel1. I have added my bot to testChannel1 but I dont know why the message is sent in General. I am also not able to get the channels list using that context object it is throwing error Error: This method is only valid within the scope of a MS Teams Team..
contextActivityObject :- {
"membersAdded": [
{
"id": "28:[guid]"
}
],
"type": "conversationUpdate",
"timestamp": "2020-04-24T12:00:06.7125247Z",

"channelId": "msteams",
"serviceUrl": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/in/",
"from": {
"id": "29:[id]",
"aadObjectId": "[guid]"
},
"conversation": {
"isGroup": true,
"conversationType": "channel",

},
"recipient": {

"name": "nikhilp",
"id": "19:aba[id]#thread.tacv2"
},
"eventType": "teamMemberAdded",
"tenant": {
"id": "[guid]"
}
}
}
The scope I have provided for my bot is Team
I would be thankful for any help
So you've asked a couple of questions, I'll try answer as best as possible. Basically, that Conversation ID (19:aba[id]#thread.tacv2) is unique per channel, so if you're using the "General" channel one, it will for sure go into General.
To find out how to get the channel Ids, have a look at Get the list of channels in a team. That will show you -how- to get the info, but you need to get a trigger in order to be able to make that call. To do that, the best way is to hook into one of the triggers, like receiving a message from a user, or being added to the team. Included in these set of events, are channels being added and deleted. See more here.
I'm using the bot builder to make an action-based messaging extension. I want to get the team's group ID, so I can use the group with the graph API, however I'm having trouble getting that ID.
In my OnTurnAsync method, turnContext has Activity.ChannelData that looks like this:
{
"channel": {
"id": "19:b7082f7e8a2547d49e0c730b9566fded#thread.skype"
},
"team": {
"id": "19:b7082f7e8a2547d49e0c730b9566fded#thread.skype"
},
"tenant": {
"id": "542f825f-b8d2-4170-8b2b-3524de6143bd"
},
"source": {
"name": "compose"
}
}
Is it correct for the team id to be the same as the channel id? How do I get the group ID that I can use to interact with the team's group in the graph API from the information I have in the OnTurnAsync method?
When we send messages using the below code using the Directline channel, the messages are sometimes received with their order swapped.
await context.PostAsync(msg1);
await context.PostAsync(msg2);
Expected:
mgs1
msg2
But in some cases, they're coming through as
msg2
msg1
Is there any way to handle and prevent this?
I'm going to write this answer assuming you're using the Directline or REST API for receiving messages. I can update if that's not the case.
This entire answer is based off of the Receive activities from the bot docs as well as doing some testing of the Directline API to confirm.
If you're connected via WebSocket, you should always be receiving the messages in order, provided there isn't some kind of size difference in the messages (like one has an attachment) that requires additional processing.
If you're not, messages are retrieved via a polling interval, meaning that your client likely sends a GET request every 5 or 10 seconds (varies by client) to retrieve all messages that have not already been retrieved.
Upon doing so, the client will receive something like this:
{
"activities": [
{
"type": "message",
"channelId": "directline",
"conversation": {
"id": "abc123"
},
"id": "abc123|0000",
"from": {
"id": "user1"
},
"text": "hello"
},
{
"type": "message",
"channelId": "directline",
"conversation": {
"id": "abc123"
},
"id": "abc123|0001",
"from": {
"id": "bot1"
},
"text": "Nice to see you, user1!"
}
],
"watermark": "0001a-95"
}
My guess is that your client is just running a foreach on the array of activities, which could be displaying them out of order. If you have the client order them by either timestamp or id, it should work.
I know gravatar allows this, and I'd like to look into facebook, google plus, twitter, instagram, and anything else.
Do you guys know of any services like this?
EDIT: to clarify, by "without authentication" do I mean user authentication, I expect to use some sort of API
One possible approach, using Facebook Graph Api would be to perform a search against the name for users objects and also retrieve their pictures, using API version 2.2 it would be a call like:
GET graph.facebook.com
/search?q=miles davis&type=user&fields=id,name,picture
This would retrieve id, name and picture object for a search on miles davis, first results as example:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "805353876185303",
"name": "Miles Davis",
"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": true,
"url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-1/c15.0.50.50/p50x50/10354686_10150004552801856_220367501106153455_n.jpg?oh=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&oe=XXXXXX&__gda__=XXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
}
},
{
"id": "1572370603017419",

"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": false,
"url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-1/p50x50/1501761_1382020035385811_1384168153_n.jpg?oh=XXXXXXXXX&oe=XXXXXXXXXXX&__gda__=XXXXXX_XXXXXX"
}
}
}, ...........
The field is_silhouette is false if the user has a profile picure.
