QlikBotNode for Microsoft Skype - Page 2 - Qlik Community

Yianni_Ververis · ‎2018-01-05

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!

If you want to use telegram, follow the instructions.

https://github.com/qlik-bots/QlikBotNode/blob/master/docs/Telegram.md

Otherwise, comment out the telegram routes (L11 & L14) and it will not load

yes. There is no difference for the OSs (L22 & L23).

Thanks for the reply, I have tried commenting out these lines but then I get the following error:

Hi Yianni,

I have followed the steps in docs and tested it using Microsoft botframework emulator. Bot is working fine on localhost.

I tried to configure the bot to work on the public domain by changing the localhost to public ip address

1. config.json

2. server.js

I have put the exported certificate in the '..\QlikBotNode-1\app\server\certs' folder.

I have also downloaded ngrok to test the bot on remote computer.

Still no success yet.

Am I going in the right direction?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Vikraant

Yes

The certs folder name needs to be the same as your server dns

I also tried putting the messaging endpoint in the Azure Bot Channel settings

(https://<ip-address>:3443/sense-bot/microsoft/api) .

When I put the above address in the browser I am getting following error

Yianni_Ververis · ‎2018-09-24

This is the public accessible page. That means that you have not setup the routes correctly

I believe it should be

https://<ip-address>:3443/api/sense-bot/microsoft/

Hi Yianni,

I am sorry. I have put the following address https://<ip-address>:3443/api/sense-bot/microsoft/.

Still getting the same error.

I have downloaded version 1 of QlitBotNode

https://github.com/qlik-bots/QlikBotNode/tree/v1

Hey Jagan,

Will this bot works with Skype or with Skype for business?
