This bot has been created using Bot Framework and Azure Open AI as a secondary/alternative option to using Teams AI SDK.
Its main purpose is to demonstrate how to build a bot connected to an LLM and send messages through Teams.
- Bots
- Azure Open AI
- Streaming
- Custom Engine Agent - Copilot
Important
This bot doesn't save any context calls. Therefore, each interaction is individual and unique.
- Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
- NodeJS
- dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
- Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI
The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.
- Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
- Install the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit extension
- Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
- Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
- Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
- In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.
If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (uploading), Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.
- In Azure portal, create an Azure Open AI service.
- Deploy Azure Open AI model: Deploy the
gpt-35-turbomodel in your created Azure Open AI service for the application to perform translation. - Collect
AzureOpenAIEndpoint,AzureOpenAIKey,AzureOpenAIDeploymentvalues and save these values to update in.envfile later.
- Register a new application in the Microsoft Entra ID – App Registrations portal.
- Select New Registration and on the register an application page, set following values:
- Set name to your app name.
- Choose the supported account types (any account type will work)
- Leave Redirect URI empty.
- Choose Register.
- On the overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID, Directory (tenant) ID. You'll need those later when updating your Teams application manifest and in the appsettings.json.
- Navigate to API Permissions, and make sure to add the following permissions:
Select Add a permission
- Select Add a permission
- Select Microsoft Graph -> Delegated permissions.
User.Read(enabled by default)- Click on Add permissions. Please make sure to grant the admin consent for the required permissions.
In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource. - For bot handle, make up a name. - Select "Use existing app registration" (Create the app registration in Microsoft Entra ID beforehand.) - If you don't have an Azure account create an Azure free account here
In the new Azure Bot resource in the Portal,
- Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- In Settings/Configuration/Messaging endpoint, enter the current https URL you were given by running the tunneling application. Append with the path /api/messages
Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
In a terminal, navigate to
samples/bot-streaming/nodejs -
Install modules
npm install
-
Update the
.envconfiguration for the bot to use the Microsoft App Id and App Password from the Bot Framework registration. (Note the App Password is referred to as the "client secret" in the azure portal and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)MicrosoftAppTenantIdwill be the id for the tenant where application is registered.
- Also, set MicrosoftAppType in the
.env. (Allowed values are: MultiTenant(default), SingleTenant, UserAssignedMSI)
-
Run your bot at the command line:
npm start
-
This step is specific to Teams.
- Zip up the contents of the
appPackagefolder to create amanifest.zip(Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package) - Upload the
manifest.zipto Teams (In Teams Apps/Manage your apps click "Upload an app". Browse to and Open the .zip file. At the next dialog, click the Add button.) - Add the app to personal scope (Supported scopes)
- Zip up the contents of the
