I'm building a Slack (instant messaging) chat client, I'm looking for a way to trigger a notification to receipent when a new message is sent to him, push notification of course.
What's the endpoint or stream API to be able to trigger a push notification to devices?
I think it should be some backend microservice listening for incoming messages in a channel with a list for users to notify.
If you want to get instant notifications about new messages posted to a channel you can either use the Real Time Messaging API (RTM API) or the Events API.
The main difference:
RTM API uses Websockets and you will receive a constant stream of events about everything that happens on the connected workspace.
Events API uses standard HTTP requests and Slack will only send events to your endpoint that you subscribed too.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right API for a project. Please also see the official FAQ from Slack on the topic for more details.

I push a lot (10Ks) of messages to Slack channel webhooks each month. It's not uncommon for the Slack API to return network errors, like ECONNRESET, meaning I don't know if the message was sent or not.
You can resend (POST) to the Slack chat.postMessage endpoint, but that might deliver the message twice.
Is there a way to idempotently send a Slack message once to a channel using Slack webhooks?
Slack Webhooks provide a very limited set of functionality.
Idempotency is not one of them.

I am trying to integrate Twilio WhatsApp API with my application, is it possible to send broadcast messages using Twilio.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You can send outbound messages over WhatsApp using Twilio. There are some constraints though.
You need to get your users to explicitly opt in to receive WhatsApp messages
When you send a notification to a user, if it is more than 24 hours since the user sent you a message you can only send approved template messages.
Twilio Notify does not support WhatsApp, so to broadcast messages to a group of users you will need to make one API request per message using the regular Twilio messaging API.
Let me know if that helps at all.
I am developing MS teams bot.
I am creating a function to send a webhook automatically when I receive a message.
The development was carried out by referring to the URL below.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-outgoing-webhook
Like the URL above, teams support outgoing webbook.
However, the outgoing webbook must manually enter #mention in the chat window for the bot to work.
I want to tag #mention automatically when I receive a message
Is there a way to do a webhook?
Even if it's not an outgoing webbook,
The robot or ms flow can receive messages and send messages automatically.
I want to develop a robot.
You also need to provide that bot for use by multiple teams.
I'm not sure if you can automatically sync all messages in a channel. But you can use the graph API to constantly check the channel for new messages and pull them into your service.Graph API
You can subscribe to notifications for Microsoft Teams messages. This feature is available in beta on the Microsoft Graph API.
I am facing issue with azure chat-bot framework SDK4 integration with live agent(human) chat through REST API using Node.js.
I have an REST API, which needs to execute in the certain interval
for getting information about human agent chat and status, and i need
to send to user as an chat message.
One more REST API, which will send chat message again again to live agent from user.
I am trying to implement this in azure chat-bot SDK V4 waterfall method getting messages status shows 'can't send, retry', even though it received from live agent side.
Code already in stack overflow:
azure chatbot SDK4 - live(human) agent chat REST API integration not working issue
Here you go --> echo bot this sample will explain listen for the incoming requests to bot.
I'm able to get conversation details for webchat using https://webchat.botframework.com/api/conversations/[conversationId]/messages
Service URL for skype channel is https://skype.botframework.com, but I dont find any documentation for getting conversation details
You can use the DirectLine Rest API (see docs).
The Direct Line API is a simple REST API for connecting directly to a single bot. This API is intended for developers writing their own client applications, web chat controls, mobile apps, or service-to-service applications that will talk to their bot.
Within the Direct Line API, you will find:
An authentication mechanism using standard secret/token patterns
The ability to send messages from your client to your bot via an HTTP POST message
The ability to receive messages by polling HTTP GET
A stable schema, even if your bot changes its protocol version
You need to enable the DirectLine channel for your bot on (see screenshot)
You don't have to access each specific channel endpoint separately, you can do it all (with some limitations) through the DirectLine API.
Start a New Conversation
POST /api/conversations
Get Messages in a Conversation
GET /api/conversations/{conversationId}/messages
Send a Message
POST /api/conversations/{conversationId}/messages
The full details are in the docs as linked above.
Hope this helps
Can you be more specific about conversation details and what you're looking for?
Generally, you shouldn't assume those URL's are static BTW; an incoming message from the Bot Framework will have a ServiceURL that should be used for the life of that conversation. Some services may have multiple ServiceUrl's that they give out for different users.
