I've managed to build my first bot and registered it. It works fine with the Web Chat control, but through Skype I'm getting no response. The Skype registration worked and the bot it authorized ("Credentials have been validated."). The bot is enabled too. Just not published yet, but apparently that is not necessary for it to work, no? Inside Skype the bot appears online.
I know that is not much information, but maybe somebody has a few hints?
This is the bot:
https://join.skype.com/bot/d55bb62a-86e8-4eec-be63-4f068e347046
It does not much yet, but it should send a reply.
My fault, I had the wrong Messaging Callback Url in the Skype Bot Portal.
Just for reference, maybe this helps someone:
I had the same problem with my bot, using the VS template. It worked in webchat and Slack but it didn't respond in Skype. I think there is a weird bug with the Skype integration(at least in the default VS template) but try to start your message with a " "(space) or "."(dot). If the message contains a special sign the bot responds as expected.
Example:
'.How are you'
' Hello'

I've used Microsoft bot framework SDKv4, and integrated to Teams channel. It is running well, but giving responses twice.
But, I didn't get the same behavior, while I tested it on Emulator and Web Chat in Azure Portal.
However, I can see below issue, while I ping the bot in web chat and get a response.
Further, I can also see, that its always 'sending' as a status although I got a valid response, and the status later changes to "Send Failed. Retry"
Is the issue related to my teams integration for getting message twice? and how, should I fix it!
Are you using webhooks? If so, having multiple webhooks with same ID could be the reason for double messages. Hope this helps
I made my bot working. It was the issue of MS authentication!
I had a call with MS support person and the root cause appeared to be only the MS authentication. Had to reset app secret and then re-deloyment.
Its weird that, although it was not getting authenticated primarily yet it was returning me the response. This, I still haven't got it!
I have a bot deployed to our Azure subscription. Using the webchat channel, I can interact with the bot using the url:
http://mybotname.azurewebsites.net/
We have added the bot to Slack as an app. We followed all the instructions given by the documentation on how to add a bot into Slack - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-service-channel-connect-slack?view=azure-bot-service-3.0
When I send a message to the bot in the Slack channel we have created, I get no response. There is not error message, or in fact anything, returned.
Whereabouts can I start looking to see what the problem could be? Suggestions for error logs, traces, etc would be appreciated. I enabled App insights for the Azure Web App which the bot runs under, but nothing comes up as an error, or warning, or anything. I'm a bit lost here, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note that I was made aware that, for Slack, I may need to tailor the responses in order for Slack to render them e.g. FormFlow define options for string field
I'm not sure how to do that, or even if this is a case that my bot simply isn't working in Slack regardless of how I'd format the responses.
I am using Microsoft Botframework to publish a bot (Channel Registration). When I try enabling the channels , I see the bot to be working in Slack , Skype, MS Teams & Web chat . However (despite following the steps to enable bot in SFB) I could not get the bot working in Skype for Business. I keep getting the error.
"Sorry, we ran into a problem at our end."
Neither do I see any log to debug.
Waited more than 24 hrs to ensure it is not the sync issue. But issue still remains. Any help appreciated !!
I am not clear with the error as to from which end it is being thrown.
I need you to follow the below steps:
Publish Bot in azure as an app service, through VS if you are coding through c#.
Create a "Bot channel registration" in azure and connect the above app service and Bot channel registration(simple use the URL of the app service append it with /api/messages and insert the same as messaging endpoint in Bot channel registration).
use the app id and app secret in bot solution and republish the app service.
Inside Bot channel registration click on channel and enable it for Skype for business(you will find your BOT in SFB using the credentials you have used to create the bot channel registration).
Finally got it working. What i noticed is the following
I faced the issue when I used the SIP URI as somebot#mydomain.com to register the bot in my tenant.
And i got it working when I used the SIP URI as somebot#mydomain.onmicrosoft.com.
Unsure on the reasoning though :)
And btw thanks #Tanmoy for your answer aswell !!
I've built a Bot using C#. I tested it using the emulator, web chat, direct line and Skype, and it's working as expected.
I followed the steps to register the bot with skype for business, I waited more than 24 hours to see what's happen.
So far, I can see the Bot as a contact, however, when I try to send a message, the error
"Error happened in Skype for business when reaching bot service. We
saved this conversation. You'll see it soon in the Conversations tab
in Skype for Business and in the Conversation History folder in
Outlook."
Looking for some logs or something, I collected some info, that I'm sharing here.
Analytics from BOT that proves that it's reaching it:
The Log for SFB channel said: "There was an error sending this message to your bot: HTTP status code NotFound"
It's look that the Bot endpoint is not available. When I registered it in SFB, I've been using NGROK (to run agains my machine), but later I've change it to a azure site.
"Old" endpoint is used yet today:
So, all I can guess is that Bot End Point was "registered" at the moment that I made the registration of my Bot in SFB, and now it's not possible to change it.
Does it make sense to anyone of you?
My problem seems to be kind of similar to Bot Framework - An error while sending a message from Skype for Business

Ok, I'm sure the problem with the bot was the endpoint registration. I found a powershell script that update the endpoint.
I Opened Windows PowerShell as Administrator and run the ff scripts:
Import-PSSession (New-CsOnlineSession -Credential (Get-Credential))
Set-CsOnlineApplicationEndpoint -Uri sip:username#yourdomain.com
Obviously, I changed username#yourdomain.com with my own.
Then, after waiting 8 hours (or so), I was able to communicate with the bot, using SFB as channel.
Bot running as expected
I hope this can be useful for others.
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.
