Tag mention bot

This sample app demonstrates the use of tag mention funtionality in teams scope using Bot Framework.

Included Features

• Bots
• Adaptive Cards
• Teams Conversation Events

Interaction with bot

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
• .NET SDK version 6.0
• dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
• Create tags within the team channel prior to utilizing the bot.
• Teams Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
• Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio

##Run the app (Using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio)

The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio.

1.Install Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.10 Preview 4 or higher Visual Studio 2.Install Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Teams Toolkit extension 3.In the debug dropdown menu of Visual Studio, select Dev Tunnels > Create A Tunnel (set authentication type to Public) or select an existing public dev tunnel. 4.In the debug dropdown menu of Visual Studio, select default startup project > Microsoft Teams (browser) 5.In Visual Studio, right-click your TeamsApp project and Select Teams Toolkit > Prepare Teams App Dependencies 6.Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps. 7.Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the menu in Visual Studio. 8.In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.

If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.

Setup

Register you app with Azure AD.

1. Register a new application in the Microsoft Entra ID � App Registrations portal.
2. Select New Registration and on the register an application page, set following values:
   • Set name to your app name.
   • Choose the supported account types (any account type will work)
   • Leave Redirect URI empty.
   • Choose Register.
3. On the overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID. You�ll need those later when updating your Teams application manifest and in the appsettings.json.
4. Under Manage, select Expose an API.
5. Select the Set link to generate the Application ID URI in the form of api://{base-url}/botid-{AppID}. Insert your fully qualified domain name (with a forward slash "/" appended to the end) between the double forward slashes and the GUID. The entire ID should have the form of: api://fully-qualified-domain-name/botid-{AppID}
   • ex: api://%ngrokDomain%.ngrok-free.app/botid-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
6. Select the Add a scope button. In the panel that opens, enter access_as_user as the Scope name.
7. Set Who can consent? to Admins and users
8. Fill in the fields for configuring the admin and user consent prompts with values that are appropriate for the access_as_user scope:
   • Admin consent title: Teams can access the user�s profile.
   • Admin consent description: Allows Teams to call the app�s web APIs as the current user.
   • User consent title: Teams can access the user profile and make requests on the user's behalf.
   • User consent description: Enable Teams to call this app�s APIs with the same rights as the user.
9. Ensure that State is set to Enabled
10. Select Add scope
    • The domain part of the Scope name displayed just below the text field should automatically match the Application ID URI set in the previous step, with /access_as_user appended to the end:
      • `api://[ngrokDomain].ngrok-free.app/botid-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/access_as_user.
11. In the Authorized client applications section, identify the applications that you want to authorize for your app�s web application. Each of the following IDs needs to be entered:
    • 1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264 (Teams mobile/desktop application)
    • 5e3ce6c0-2b1f-4285-8d4b-75ee78787346 (Teams web application)
12. Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the follow permissions:

• Select Add a permission
• �Select Microsoft Graph ->�Delegated permissions.
  • TeamworkTag.Read
  • TeamworkTag.ReadWrite
• Click on Add permissions. Please make sure to grant the admin consent for the required permissions.

13. Navigate to Authentication If an app hasn't been granted IT admin consent, users will have to provide consent the first time they use an app.

• Set redirect URI:
  • Select Add a platform.
  • Select web.
  • Enter the redirect URI https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect. This will be use for bot authenticaiton.

14. Navigate to the Certificates & secrets. In the Client secrets section, click on "+ New client secret". Add a description(Name of the secret) for the secret and select �Never� for Expires. Click "Add". Once the client secret is created, copy its value, it need to be placed in the appsettings.json.

15. Create a Bot Registration

• 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.
• Select Configuration section.
• Under configuration -> Add OAuth connection string.
• Provide connection Name : for eg ssoconnection
• Select service provider ad Azure Active Directory V2
• Complete the form as follows:

a. **Name:** Enter a name for the connection. You'll use this name in your bot in the appsettings.json file.
b. **Client id:** Enter the Application (client) ID that you recorded for your Azure identity provider app in the steps above.
c. **Client secret:** Enter the secret that you recorded for your Azure identity provider app in the steps above.
d. **Tenant ID**  Enter value as `common`.
e. **Token Exchange Url** Enter the url in format `api://%ngrokDomain%.ngrok-free.app/botid-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`(Refer step 1.5)
f. Provide **Scopes** like "User.Read openid"

2. Setup NGROK

1. 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

3. Setup for code

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

2. Open the code in Visual Studio

   • File -> Open -> Project/Solution
   • Navigate to folder where repository is cloned then samples\meetings-events\csharp\MeetingEvents.sln

3. Setup and run the bot from Visual Studio: Modify the appsettings.json and fill in the following details:

   • {{MicrosoftAppId}} - Generated from Step 1 (Application (client) ID)is the application app id
   • {{MicrosoftAppTenantId}} - Enter value as common.
   • {{MicrosoftAppPassword}} - Generated from Step 1.14, also referred to as Client secret
   • {{ ConnectionName }} - Generated from step 15.
   • Press F5 to run the project

4. Setup Manifest for Teams

1. Modify the manifest.json in the /appPackage folder and replace the following details:

   • <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>> with Application id generated from Step 3
   • <<domain-name>> - Your application's base url domain. E.g. for https://12345.ngrok-free.app the base url domain will be 12345.ngrok-free.app if you are using ngrok and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like: 12345.devtunnels.ms.

2. Zip up the contents of the appPackage folder to create a manifest.zip or appPackage_Hub folder into a appPackage_Hub.zip. (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)

3. Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")

   • Go to Microsoft Teams and then go to side panel, select Apps
   • 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.
