I am looking for an example of how to send an email from a botframework intent.
I have tried the code below but nothing gets sent. I am doing something wrong?
[LuisIntent("TestEmailIntent")]
public async Task FindFundFactSheetAsync(IDialogContext context, LuisResult result)
{
var emailMessage = context.MakeMessage();
emailMessage.Recipient.Id = "myEmail#hotmail.com";
emailMessage.Recipient.Name = "John Cleophas";
emailMessage.Text ="Test message"
var data = new EmailContentData();
var channelData = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
emailMessage.ChannelData = channelData;
await context.PostAsync(emailMessage);
context.Wait(MessageReceived);
}
Unless your bot is employing the email channel, you will need to send the email message using your own code, not via the BotFramework. Any posts will go back to the original channel (i.e. Skype, Facebook, etc.)

I'm having an Adaptive card with a share button, on click of that button I have shared that card to other Teams channel, as of now I'm able to send the message to the same Teams channel, but while sending to other teams channel it giving me Error.
Below is the code i'm using:
var tenantID = activity.GetTenantId();
var message = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
message.Text = "Hello World";
var conversationParameters = new ConversationParameters
{
IsGroup = true,
ChannelData = new TeamsChannelData
{
Channel = new ChannelInfo("ID of Channel to which message is to be sent"),
Team = new TeamInfo("ID of team to which message to be sent", "Name of team");
Tenant = new TenantInfo(tenantID),
Notification = new NotificationInfo(true)
},
Activity = (Activity)message
};
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(activity.ServiceUrl, DateTime.MaxValue);
var connectorClient = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
await connectorClient.Conversations.CreateConversationAsync(conversationParameters);
MS Teams is quite picky (for a reason) when it comes to bot-id etc. You need to make sure that you have the same bot id configured in code and in your manifest.
On top of that, when you get the "Unable to reach the app" message, that most likely means your bot messaging endpoint (configured in the bot options on azure or on dev.botframework.com ) does not point to the correct url.
In general you can not send a message to a user who never interacted with your bot before in a 1:1 conversation and you can not send a message to any teams your bot is not added to as a member.
I have a MS Teams bot. I have installed the bot for couple of users in tenant. Now when I'm starting conversation, for few users it is responding and few it is not.
I investigated further and found out that for users who are getting reply from bot, the serviceurl is "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/in/".
For users who are not getting reply from bot, the serviceurl is "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/apac/".
Exception message: Operation returned an invalid status code 'NotFound'
private async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<object> result)
{
var activity = await result as Activity;
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.Text = "Hi there";
await context.PostAsync(reply);
}
This sounds like it's possibly a TrustServiceUrl Issue (despite the 500 vs 401 error message).
You can fix it by adding all of your ServiceUrls to the list of trusted URLs:
private async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<object> result)
{
var activity = await result as Activity;
var serviceUrl = activity.ServiceUrl;
MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl(serviceUrl);
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.Text = "Hi there";
await context.PostAsync(reply);
}
This should ensure that your bot "trusts" the ServiceUrl of any message that it receives.
Let me know how that goes. I'm 90% sure this is the issue, but it might not be.
Here's a link to the library, if that helps. Otherwise, browsing these issues should help.
Note to others:
This "Trust Service URL Issue" doesn't apply to just Teams. This happens for lots of other URLs when trying to use Proactive messaging. Just replace serviceUrl with whatever is appropriate for your use case. And yes, if you're using multiple channels, you can add multiple URLs when using MicrosoftAppCredentials.TrustServiceUrl() by calling it multiple times.
Here's the method definition. Note: you can add expiration for this, as well.
I've submitted a PR for this, which so far has resulted in some updated docs
Question
I have a simple Bot for MS Teams developed in C# with the Bot Builder SDK 3.15.0.0 targeting .NET framework 4.7.1.
When mentioned, it retrieves the Jira ticket Ids in the message and returns a single reply with a list of Cards, each one displaying a summary of a Jira Issue.
I'd like to know if it's possible to not populate the activity feed when sending the reply with the card attachments as it's not needed for my use case.
Example
This is how I usually build the reply to a user message
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.List;
reply.Attachments = thumbnailCards;
await context.PostAsync(reply);
And this is what I tried after reading the docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/activity-feed#rest-api-sample
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.List;
reply.Attachments = thumbnailCards;
reply.ChannelData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
notification = new
{
alert = false
}
});
await context.PostAsync(reply);
I was hoping that setting the ChannelData with notification.alert = false would just disable the notifications, but it actually doesn't display any message.
Have you tried using the Teams nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Teams
var reply = activity.CreateReply();
reply.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new TeamsChannelData()
{
Notification = new NotificationInfo(false)
});
Source for this package can be found here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/BotBuilder-MicrosoftTeams/
The alert you are getting in the activity feed is simply the "someone replied to your message" alert and is nothing special coming from the bot. This notification in the activity feed cannot be disabled as of now. Other team members won't receive this alert in activity feed unless they are following the same channel.
Sending notification using Rest API is designed to work for 1:1 chat.
How can I send a message to the user without the user sending me a message? Like for example CNN bot is sending messages every day in the morning by itself. How can I do that in the bot framework?
See this.
In fact, you do not strictly need to receive a message from the user first, but addressing manually can be error-prone (you have to know the user's and bot's channel account, the service URL, etc.)
And in turn (per #thegaram's message), that only works for some channels. For example, Skype requires that the user contact the bot before the bot can message the user.
Once contacted, you can store the user's channelAccount data once they contact you and use that to send them proactive messages. For example if the user has subscribed to hear sports scores for a particular team over time.
Any sort of unsolicited spam messages of course are prohibited by the policies of the Bot Framework (and most of the channels).
Yes you can do that. We called it Greeting from Bot. I have done it and sharing a sample code with you.
Write this code in your messageController or first dialog used in bot.
if (activity.Text == null)
{
ConnectorClient connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
Activity isActivityTyping = activity.CreateReply();
isActivityTyping.Type = ActivityTypes.Typing;
await connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(isActivityTyping);
await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => new Dialogs.GreetDialog());
}
after this code you need to create a dialog GreetDialog. Below is the cs file code for your reference.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs;
using Microsoft.Bot.Connector;
namespace GPP.Bot.Dialogs
{
[Serializable]
internal class GreetDialog : IDialog<object>
{
public async Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context)
{
context.Wait(Greeting);
}
private async Task Greeting(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> argument)
{
var message = await argument;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(message.Text))
{
// Hero Card
var cardMsg = context.MakeMessage();
var attachment = BotWelcomeCard("Hello, I am a bot. Right now I am on training and in a prototype state", "");
cardMsg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
await context.PostAsync(cardMsg);
context.Call<object>(new ActionDialog(), AfterGreetingDialogCompleted);
}
else
{
context.Call<object>(new ActionDialog(), AfterGreetingDialogCompleted);
}
}
private static Attachment BotWelcomeCard(string responseFromQNAMaker, string userQuery)
{
var heroCard = new HeroCard
{
Title = userQuery,
Subtitle = "",
Text = responseFromQNAMaker,
Images = new List<CardImage> { new CardImage("https://i2.wp.com/lawyerist.com/lawyerist/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/docubot.gif?fit=322%2C294&ssl=1") },
Buttons = new List<CardAction> { new CardAction(ActionTypes.ImBack, "Show Menu", value: "Show Bot Menu") }
};
return heroCard.ToAttachment();
}
private async Task AfterGreetingDialogCompleted(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<object> result)
{
context.Done<object>(new object());
}
}
}
this is a working code. Do let me know in case you face ant issue.
~cheers :)
Updated
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.
