Is it possible to post message to a conversation on Skype using directline - botframework

We have a scenario , wherein we are trying to post messages to users (which have conversations with Bot opened on Skype channels ) through directline api.
We are unable to achieve this.
But we are able to broadcast messages from a conversation on Webchat to another conversation on webchat .
Similarly from one conversation in Skype to another conversation on Skype.
Is it possible to broadcast a message from directline to a conversation on Skype ?

You need to send a message to your bot, requesting this. Your bot can choose the correct channel to answer.

Can an slack app reply to the person who mentioned me in a channel?

I am looking to build a slack app which can auto-reply to a person whenever they mention me in a channel or DM me. However, i cannot find any method in the slack API for the same.
Is there any particular way i am missing or this cannot be done in Slack?
When you say 'mention me', if you mean the bot,
then you can subscribe to 'app_mention' event and take it from there.
https://api.slack.com/events/app_mention
If you mean - you as user and not the bot, then the bot needs to be part of the conversation to read the messages. This means that it will not work with the DMs.
For channels, you can invite the bot to the channel you want to monitor, and capture the 'message' event to parse the message and look for your id.

Send message from telegram bot to viber bot

I have a bot working on Laravel Framework, there is a need to send a message to Viber bot. Is it possible?
As I know Telegram doesn't support API to sending messages to external systems like Viber.
But you always can send message from Telegram bot to your server, and then forward this message from server to Viber.

Problems Intergrating Bot Framework with SMS

I have been working on azure chat bot using the bot framework SDK v4 and I have ran into an issue. My bot needs to initiate a conversation first. I have seen some examples with proactive bot but that requires us to save the user credentials as a cookie. What I need is a chat bot that sends the first message to user via SMS to initiate the conversation. The bots needs to be able to set the recipient phone number dynamically. I have looked at integrating the Twillio channel to my bot, but the problem is that the user has to initiate the conversation to the Twillio phone number which then forwards the text to Azure chat bot. I was wondering if there is anything out there which will allow the chat bot to initiate the conversation first via SMS and the phone number of the recipient should be set dynamically. Is there anything out there currently on Microsoft stack? Our company has been a long partner with Microsoft so I would like to have the chat bot using the Microsoft Azure Bot Service. Can you please guide me or forward some documentation? Any help would be appreciated.

How To Post A Message On Behalf Of The User In Microsoft Teams App?

I'm working on an integration between Microsoft Teams and Slack.
I'm building a Microsoft Teams application which is connected to a Microsoft Bot.
Additionally, I created a server for:
Listening to messages which were sent by users in Slack (via Slack webhooks)
Posting them in Microsoft Teams conversation as a user message to the bot (outgoing message)
I receive messages from Slack (which were sent by a Slack user) to my server and I wish to post them in Microsoft Teams as messages from the user to the bot and I'm not able to do so.
I'm able to send messages from Bot to user in Microsoft Teams app via Microsoft Bot's "botbuilder" Node.js SDK:
session.send(message);
How can I send the message on the other direction (from user to bot)?
You can't. See this question for more info, but the short version is:
The BotFramework has no direct way to do this.
Even the Teams Graph API doesn't currently support this. They're working on it, but don't have an ETA.
The closest thing to a workaround would be:
User writes message in Slack to Bot
Bot receives message and posts a proactive message in Teams, something like:
User #louis1600 said: "blah blah blah"

Bot Email channel Duplicate messages

We have created a Bot and have configured channels like Skype and WebChat. Bot works fine. We have added one email channel and have attached a O365 email-ID to it. Now when we send a email to this O365 email ID then Bot replies back and its all good. But have observed that Bot is actually sending duplicate emails as if its running in a loop. Has anyone faced this, or a similar issue?
