Was trying to use the below code to make the bot reply in different locale
however seems this isn't working, any idea how can this be possible?
Activity reply = activity.CreateReply(activity.Text, locale: "de-de");

I'm using the Microsoft bot-framework to create a bot and integrate it into teams.
Part of the bot's requirements include proactively messaging users once per day. From what I understand, I can only message users that has been added to the team/groupChat after the bot, or that have messaged the bot directly.
My question is - can I somehow bypass this limitation?
A friend of my referred me to a new feature of graphAPI, as part of the new beta version - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-add-teamsappinstallation?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http.
To me it doesn't seem like it could be related to the solution since I'm not getting any data back in the response, so if I have no conversationReference object I still can't message the user.
At the moment my solution is to simply broadcast a message in the channel when it's added, asking users to "register" with it by messaging it. Anyone has any other suggestion?
The easiest way is to:
Install the bot for the team
Query the Team Roster -- The link in Step 3 has an alternative way to do this towards the bottom
Create a conversation with the user and send a proactive message
There's a lot of code in those links and it's better to just visit them than to copy/paste it here.
The end of Step 3 also mentions trustServiceUrl, which you may find handy if you run into permissions/auth issues when trying to send a proactive message.
Edit for Node:
Install Necessary Packages
npm i -S npm install botbuilder-teams#4.0.0-beta1 botframework-connector
Note: The #<version> is important!
Prepare the Adapter
In index.js
const teams = require('botbuilder-teams');
adapter.use(new teams.TeamsMiddleware());
Get the Roster
// Get Team Roster
const credentials = new MicrosoftAppCredentials(process.env.MicrosoftAppId, process.env.MicrosoftAppPassword);
const connector = new ConnectorClient(credentials, { baseUri: context.activity.serviceUrl });
const roster = await connector.conversations.getConversationMembers(context.activity.conversation.id);
Send the Proactive Message
const { TeamsContext } = require('botbuilder-teams');
// Send Proactive Message
const teamsCtx = TeamsContext.from(context);
const parameters = {
members: [
roster[0] // Replace with appropriate user
],
channelData: {
tenant: {
id: teamsCtx.tenant.id
}
}
};
const conversationResource = await connector.conversations.createConversation(parameters);
const message = MessageFactory.text('This is a proactive message');
await connector.conversations.sendToConversation(conversationResource.id, message);
Trust the ServiceUrl, as Necessary
Read about it. You'd want this before the message is sent.
MicrosoftAppCredentials.trustServiceUrl(context.activity.serviceUrl);
EDIT: The Graph API you've referenced is only necessary if you wish to proactively message a user who is not in a channel/groupChat where the bot is installed. If you need to proactively message only people who are in context where the bot is installed already, the answer from mdrichardson is the easiest possible method.
We've identified a couple of issues with the Graph API beta endpoint you referenced that should be fixed in the near term. In the meantime workarounds are as follows:
Calling:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/teamwork/installedApps/
{"teamsapp#odata.bind":"https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/appcatalogs/teamsapps/APP-GUID"}
Will install an app in the personal scope of a user.
Known issue: Currently, if the app contains a bot, then installation will not lead to creation of thread between the bot and the user. However to ensure that any missing chat threads, get created, call:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats?$filter=installedApps/any(x:x/teamsApp/id eq 'APP-GUID')
Calling:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats?$filter=installedApps/any(x:x/teamsApp/id eq 'APP-GUID')
Gets the chat between a user and an app containing a bot.
Known issue: Calling this API will lead to sending a conversation update event to the bot even though there were no updates to the conversation. Your bot will essentially get two install events and you'll need to make sure you don't send the welcome message twice.
We'll also be adding more detailed documentation for the proactive messaging flow using these Graph APIs
I built a bot that is integrated to messenger and default bot on website using dialogflow now the bot have default response and messenger response but when I go to the fullfilment i cant set a specific response for each
here is my code
function time(agent) {
if (currentlyOpen()) {
agent.add(`Hi, We're open now! We close at 11pm today.`);
} else {
agent.add(`We're currently closed, but we open every day at 6am!`);
}
}
I want to have a diffrent response if I am using messenger as the default response goes to the default bot
"I know I can inrtegrate messenger in the website but I want to know this way as I use it for more bots"
You can do that using the same library that you are using for agent. To send specific platform response just add the platform to the response. For example, if you want send a text specifically to Google Assistant then you can do that using agent.add(new Text({ text: 'text_here', platform: 'ACTIONS_ON_GOOGLE'}));.
The full Dialogflow fulfillment code is available on GitHub. https://github.com/dialogflow/dialogflow-fulfillment-nodejs. I have also modified some code to set some other responses that are not available in this library such as telephony transfer and speech responses. So, if you want you can do that too.

Issue Description
Hi, I searched for this for a long time now but I haven't found an answer.
I was wondering if there is a way to bind some URL parameters to the User's Bot Session.
For example, if for a specific chat dialog, I set my Endpoint URL to:
http://localhost:3978/api/messages?pronuntiation=british
is there a way to get that url parameter named "pronuntiation" down in the session object like...
bot.dialog("/", function(session){
var desiredPronuntiation = session.someUrlParameters.pronuntiation;
if( desiredPronuntiation == "british"){
///blah
}
});
I think it is possible in C# SDK but I was trying to do this in NodeJS...
I already debugged the proces from the server.post('/api/messages', connector.listen()) down to the ChatConnector.verifyBotFramework() where at the end I found it calls _this.dispatch(req.body, res, next); (ChatbotConnector.js on line 149) passing only the post body but not the request object itself...
So at a first glance I think this is not possible, I just wanted to be sure that I didn't miss anything...
Thanks,
Luis
As far as I know, this isn't supported by the Bot Framework, however I don't see why you need to do it this way. This is something you want to store in the state, for example the userData. You can read more here about managing state in the Bot Framework.
If you want to pass user data to the bot, it depends on the channel. For example Facebook and Webchat allow you to pass data direct to the bot, without user input.
I have created many bots with MS Bot Framework and they worked correctly, following the instructions of the proper channel (in https://dev.botframework.com/ -> Add another channel -> Add).
They all, including Slack, worked properly, but now app creation in Slack (https://api.slack.com/applications/new) is different to the instructions, and the bot is not working anymore (neither the old ones nor the new ones).
After submitting the credentials in https://dev.botframework.com/to add the Slack channel, everything appears to be ok, but in Slack the bot is always off-line, and the messages don't get botframework neither the messaging endpoint after that.
The only message I get in my messaging endpoint is:
{ type: 'installationUpdate',
action: 'add',
sourceEvent:
{ SlackMessage:
{ type: 'bot_added',
After adding the bot, but nothing after that. Any hints?
After some hours not working, the messages started to come again (it was a Microsoft or Slack problem)
I'm creating a bot in slack using Microsoft's botframework and LUIS and in Node.js. Currently my bot will reply every time someone says something in the channel, however I want my bot to only reply when its name is mentioned in my slack channel. i.e. #my-bot do this
How would I approach this? Would I have to add slack api in order to do this?
One way I'm thinking is to create an entity to check for if #my-bot is mentioned, and if it is then reply and if not then don't. However, I feel there are better ways in doing this.
Thanks.
Edit:
dialog.onDefault(function (session) {
var msg = new builder.Message(session).entities();
console.log(msg);
console.log(session);
session.endDialog('Default Dialog');
});
I've looked through both msg and session and the Entities of both are empty.
I was able to use session.message.entities to use mentioned to know whenever the bot was mentioned.
