Register bot without Azure process

Hi Microsoft Teams, I was looking on creating and hosting bots. I thought that it is required to host the bot in Azure but according to documentation it is not but it needs to registered in Azure...

Hi subhasish-MSFT ,

Thank you for the response but it didn't answer my question. If I register my bot with https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new., is it free? No additional fee if I'm not using any Azure services and only register the bot with https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new.?

Hi subhasish-MSFT,

Thank you for the response. Last quick question, with proactive message it sends message to user right? Can it configure which user it should send the message or it sends it to all the user that installed the bot? What we are trying is to send different events to different user depending on case scenario.

Thank you.

  avillanueva , Yes, You can send proactive message to different user with different scenario. Welcome message is a proactive message which is sent when user installs the bot for first time. You could save the user details in Database or Cache at the time of bot installation And make use of it while sending proactive message to any users.

    Hi subhasish-MSFT , using the non Azure setup, can we use custom authentication setup [similar to Bot channel registration custom authentication?]
