Adding a role to a user via DMs - node.js

The Discord bot is going to add a role to the user that sent the DM message.
Currently, I have the user's ID and I have the role ID. I don't know what steps I need to take in order to add the role to the user.
The messages are in a DM so I went and did this:
let userId = message.author;
somethingHere.addRole('roleId#');
What is that missing piece before the .addRole that I need?

.addRole is a method of GuildMember, so in order to use it you need to get the member object of that user (otherwise the bot couldn't know in which guild it should do it.)
If you have only one guild stored somewhere, you can do <Guild>.member(message.author).addRole('role id'), otherwise you'll need a way to figure out which guild they want the role in.

Finding a Discord server ID with just a member ID connected to a voice channel

So the discord bot (Discord v12) I'm designing in nodejs has a command that must go through a DM (it's a silent auction bot so the bid messages being sent as bids can't be seen). Since I'm designing the bot to be able to be used on multiple servers I need a way to assign the server ID from the DM message so the bot knows the bid is for that particular server's auction. Since it's a DM I can't pull the server ID from the message itself.
The only way I've thought to accomplish this is by having the members logged into a voice channel of the server, but I can't figure out a way to pull the server ID from the voice channel itself. Is there a way to pull the voice channel ID a member ID is currently logged into and pull the server ID from that?
You can get information regarding a voice channel where the user is logged with the VoiceState object.
You can get it from a member's .voice attribute.

Telegram: Can a bot write a message to a specific user in a group?

I have a telegram group with several human members and a bot. This bot sends regular status updates to the group. I do this with a simple curl command.
https://api.telegram.org/bot<MYBOT-ID>/sendMessage?chat_id=<MYCHAT-ID>=&text=hello%20world
Is there a possibility that the bot sends a message to a specific user in the group, e.g. to inform about a failure. The other members of the group should of course not see or hear this.
You can use "user_id" instead of "chat_id" to send the message to the PV of users instead of sending message in the group
https://api.telegram.org/bot<MYBOT-ID>/sendMessage?chat_id=<USER-ID>=&text=hello%20world

Retrieve Teams User ID based on AAD ID

I am trying to start a scheduled proactive conversation (the bot initiates the conversation on scheduled time).
I managed to get the User's AAD ID based on Graph API, but it doesn't match the Teams user ID. Tried for over 2 hours to obtain the right id, but I can't figure it out how. What would be the best approach I should take?
Have a look at the Microsoft Graph api to get the chat thread ID.
When the app is installed for the user, the bot will get receive a conversationUpdate event that will contain the necessary information for it to send the proactive message. For more information, see Bot events.
If you lose the chatThreadId, you can find it again by calling:
GET /users/{user-id}/chats?$filter=installedApps/any(a:a/teamsApp/id eq '{teamsAppid}')
However, this will only for for the personal scope! My advice would be to make sure you catch the conversationUpdate which is triggered after an install and persist the user details in a database.
I'm curious how you tried to "match" these? In any case, I don't think they're intended to match up in any way (the aadObjectId Guid and the "29:..." user id). As a result, you should store a mapping on your side (database or similar). You need to store ServiceUrl and ConversationId anyway to do proactive messaging, so just tack userid on as well.

How do I know Slack bot's user_id?

I'm making a slack bot (A) that responses to a message from another slack bot (incoming-webhook) (B).
I'd like to know the user_id of B so that its message will be a trigger for A, where I have some problem getting it.
I tried users.list method (https://slack.com/api/users.list?token=blabla) but the B didn't appear in a result.
Do you have an idea about what method to take to know the user_id of B?
Incoming webhooks appear as apps, not as bot users on Slack. So you won't find a bot user ID in the user list as you would for normal bot users.
Apps have a bot ID, but unfortunately there is no official API method to get the list of bots / apps in a workspace. But if you have control over a workspace and can generate a legacy token you can use the unofficial API method bots.list.
There also is the official bots.info method, if you already have the bot ID and just want to know which app it belongs to.
To create a legacy token for your workspace make sure you are logged in and then go to this page.

How to create a telegram bot that checks user joined

I am trying to create a bot that checks if a user has joined a channel and if it is true then reply an automatic message.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
You can use getChatMember method with administer permission.
P.S. remember to put both chat_id and user_id into the request.
