To reply to an existing message, call ReplyToActivity in .NET or session.send in Node.js. The Bot Builder SDK handles all the details.

If you choose to use the REST API, you can also call the /v3/conversations/{conversationId}/activities/{activityId} endpoint.

  Session.send is not available for Bot Builder Typescript SDK 3.0.
  We will test the REST API and update you soon.

    I think you meant "Session.send" is not available for Bot Builder Typescript SDK 4.0.

I am using Nodejs and clicking on 'https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/botbuilder-core/TurnContext?view=botbuilder-ts-latest&viewFallbackFrom=botbuilder-ts-3.0#sendactivities&preserve-view=true' take me to a page where there is no reference to it.

The requested page is not available for Bot Builder Typescript SDK 3.0. You have been redirected to the newest product version this page is available for.
