Qlik_BOT_Headers_Skype.jpg

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!

Hello saranrajk‌,

The process is the same. Install and then run the server. Once you have the routes and the dns ready and you can access it from a browser, add the url in the Messaging Endpoint

Hi Yianni,

What should I name the environment variables for Skype for windows ?  Should it be named the same as that for Linux, ie,

SKYPE_BOT_ID_SCV

&

SKYPE_BOT_PASSWORD_SVC
