I am using the following sample / article to Manage a Long-running operation in MS Teams Bot.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-howto-long-operations-guidance?view=a...
In step 5, a DirectLineClient is being created and an Event Activity is sent to Bot using PostActivityAsync.
var responseActivity = new Activity("event");
responseActivity.Value = originalActivity;
responseActivity.Name = "LongOperationResponse";
responseActivity.From = new ChannelAccount("GenerateReport", "AzureFunction");
var directLineSecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DirectLineSecret");
using(DirectLineClient client = new DirectLineClient(directLineSecret))
{
var conversation = await client.Conversations.StartConversationAsync();
await client.Conversations.PostActivityAsync(conversation.ConversationId, responseActivity);
}
However, I need the above sample to work for MS Teams Bot and not the DirectLineClient.
I used Microsoft.Bot.Connector.ConnectorClient but StartconversationAsync and PostActivityAsync methods are not available. I tried the methods available in Microsoft.Bot.Connector.ConnectorClient
connectorClient.Conversations.CreateConversationAsync(conversationparameters)
connectorClient.ConversationsCreateDirectConversationAsync(botAccount, userAccount, (Activity)newActivity);
connectorClient.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync(conversationid, (Activity)newActivity);
But all the methods failed with Bad Requestwith the error as seen in the Response: {"error":{"code":"BadArgument","message":"Unknown activity type"}}
The newActivity is created as below:
var messagnewActivity = new Activity("event");
newActivity.Value = originalActivity;
newActivity.From = new ChannelAccount("GenerateReport", "AzureFunction");
newActivity.Type = "event";
newActivity.Conversation = new ConversationAccount { Id = originalActivity.Conversation.Id };
newActivity.ChannelId = originalActivity.ChannelId;
Can someone please suggest how do I pass the Activity (Event Activity type) to MS Teams Bot.
Thanks
