Prerequisites

1. Setup for Bot

In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource.

2. Run your bot sample

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

  2. In the folder where repository is cloned navigate to samples/bot-task-approval/nodejs

  3. Install node modules

    Inside node js folder, open your local terminal and run the below command to install node modules. You can do the same in Visual Studio code terminal by opening the project in Visual Studio code.

    npm install

  4. Run ngrok - point to port 3978

    ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 3978

  5. Open the .env configuration file in your project folder (or in Visual Studio Code) and update the ClientId and ClientSecret, BaseURL with your app's base url. (Note the ClientId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup for Bot), the ClientSecret is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)

  6. Run your app

    npm start

  7. Manually update the manifest.json

    • Edit the manifest.json contained in the appPackage/ folder to replace with your MicrosoftAppId (that was created in step1.1 and is the same value of MicrosoftAppId in .env file) everywhere you see the place holder string {MicrosoftAppId} (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
    • Zip up the contents of the appPackage/ folder to create a manifest.zip
    • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the left-bottom Apps view, click "Upload a custom app")
