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!

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

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

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/
