  2. Setup for Bot

  • Register a AAD aap registration in Azure portal.
  • Also, register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.
  • Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
  • While registering the bot, use https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.
  1. Setup Ngrok
  • Run ngrok - point to port 3978

    ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"

    Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:

    devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
  1. Setup for code

    • Edit the manifest.json for <<MANIFEST-ID>> replace it with any GUID using guid generator.

    • Edit the manifest.json for webApplicationInfo resource "api://botid-{{MicrosoftAppId}}" with MicrosoftAppId. E.g. "api://botid-{{MicrosoftAppId}}".

    • Zip up the contents of the AppManifest folder to create a manifest.zip
