This sample shows the feature where user can use different formatting on adaptive cards using bot.
- Bots
- Adaptive Cards
Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).
Send different formatting on cards: Manifest
- Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account).
- To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 18x or higher).
- ngrok or equivalent tunneling solution.
Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.
-
Register a new application in the Azure Active Directory – App Registrations portal.
-
Setup for Bot
- In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource.
- Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- While registering the bot, use
https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages
as the messaging endpoint.
NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.
-
Setup NGROK
Run ngrok - point to port 3978ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
-
Setup for code
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
In a terminal, navigate to
samples/bot-formatting-cards/nodejs
-
Update the
.env
configuration file and replace with placeholder{{Microsoft-App-Id}}
and{{Microsoft-App-Password}}
. (Note the MicrosoftAppId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup AAD app registration in your Azure portal), the MicrosoftAppPassword is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)
Update mentionSupport json
-
Bots support user mention with the Azure AD Object ID and UPN, in addition to the existing IDs. The support for two new IDs is available in bots for text messages, Adaptive Cards body, and message extension response. Bots support the mention IDs in conversation and invoke scenarios. The user gets activity feed notification when being @mentioned with the IDs.
- Navigate to samples\bot-formatting-cards\nodejs\resources\mentionSupport.json
- On line 14, replace {{new-Ids}}
- On line 23, replace {{Email-Id}}
- On line 31, replace {{Microsoft-App-Id}}
- E.g.
"text": "Hi <at>Adele UPN</at>, <at>Adele Azure AD</at>" } ], "msteams": { "entities": [ { "type": "mention", "text": "<at>Adele UPN</at>", "mentioned": { "id": "[email protected]", "name": "Adele Vance" } }, { "type": "mention", "text": "<at>Adele Azure AD</at>", "mentioned": { "id": "87d349ed-44d7-43e1-9a83-5f2406dee5bd", "name": "Adele Vance" } } ]
- Navigate to samples\bot-formatting-cards\nodejs\resources\mentionSupport.json
In
index.js
file at line number 40, uncomment commented line for local debugging.
-
Install modules
npm install
-
Run your app
npm start
- Setup Manifest for Teams
-
This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in the ./appPackage folder to replace your MicrosoftAppId (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string{{Microsoft-App-Id}}
(depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in themanifest.json
) - Edit the
manifest.json
forvalidDomains
and replace{{domain-name}}
with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would behttps://1234.ngrok-free.app
then your domain-name will be1234.ngrok-free.app
. - Zip up the contents of the
appPackage
folder to create amanifest.zip
(Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
- Edit the
-
Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
- From the lower left corner, choose Upload a custom App
- Go to your project directory, the ./AppPackage folder, select the zip folder, and choose Open.
- Select Add in the pop-up dialog box. Your app is uploaded to Teams.
