QlikBotNode for Microsoft Skype

[Yianni_Ververis]

Last month I talked about our new QlikBotNode, setting it up and getting it ready for Telegram Qlik Sense Bot with Node.js and Enigma.js.

Today, I will talk about the steps needed to make your bot available for Microsoft Skype as well!

Assuming that you have already forked the code from GitHub - qlik-bots/QlikBotNode: QlikBotNode is a server build in Node.js, Express.js, Enigma.js and ...‌ and you have already went through the previous tutorial and set up the Telegram bot.

Installation

• First you need to "Register a Bot with Bot Service". Login to the Azure Portal http://portal.azure.com/‌
• Click the New button found on the upper left-hand corner of the Azure portal, then select AI + Cognitive Services > Bot Channels Registration.
• Click the Create button to start the creation process.

• Enter a Bot Name as you want to appear in your contact list
• You can use the free Pricing Tier for testing
• For the Messaging Point add you full route like https://{your-server}/api/sense-bot/microsoft/
• You can skip the Application Insight for now
• Once registered, go to settings and get the AppId and the Password. You will need to add them in your environmental variables

• Click on Manage to get the password

• Put the AppId and Password in your Environmental variables.
• For Windows, go to "Control Panel" -> "System" -> "Advanced System Settings" -> "Environment Variables"
• - For Linux, from your directory (~), type "nano .bash_profile" or "vim .bash_profile" and enter the variables there like
• export SKYPE_BOT_ID_SCV=''
  • export SKYPE_BOT_PASSWORD_SVC=''
• While still in settings, go to "channel" and add skype.

Thats it!
