Questions tagged [botconnector]

The Microsoft Bot Connector is a communication service that helps you connect your Bot with many different communication channels (Skype, SMS, email, and others). If you write a conversational Bot or agent and expose a Microsoft Bot Framework-compatible API on the Internet, the Bot Framework Connector service will forward messages from your Bot to a user, and will send user messages back to your Bot.

The Microsoft Bot Connector is a communication service that helps you connect your Bot with many different communication channels (Skype, SMS, email, and others). If you write a conversational Bot or agent and expose a Microsoft Bot Framework-compatible API on the Internet, the Bot Framework Connector service will forward messages from your Bot to a user, and will send user messages back to your Bot.

To use the Microsoft Bot Framework Connector, you must have:

  • A Microsoft Account (Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com) to log into the Bot Framework developer portal, which you will use to register your Bot.

  • An Azure-accessible REST endpoint exposing a callback for the Connector service.

  • Developer accounts on one or more communication services(such as Skype) where your Bot will communicate.

In addition you may wish to have an Azure App Insights account so you can capture telemetry from your Bot. There are different ways to go about building a Bot; from scratch, coded directly to the Bot Connector API, the Bot Builder SDK's for Node.JS & .NET, and the Bot Connector .NET template which is what this QuickStart guide demonstrates.
