• Teams Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account

Setup

1. Register a new application in the Azure Active Directory – App Registrations portal.

NOTE: When you create your app registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

2. Setup NGROK

• Run ngrok - point to port 3978

  ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 3978

3. Setup for code

• Clone the repository

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

• Modify the /appsettings.json and fill in the following details:

  • {{ ClientId}} - Generated from Step 1 while doing AAd app registration in Azure portal.
  • {{ ClientSecret}} - Generated from Step 1, also referred to as Client secret
  • {{ BaseUri }} - Your application's base url. E.g. https://12345.ngrok.io if you are using ngrok.

• Run the bot from a terminal or from Visual Studio:

  A) From a terminal, navigate to samples/graph-channel-lifecycle/csharp

  # run the bot
  dotnet run

  B) Or from Visual Studio

  • Edit the manifest.json for validDomains and replace {{domain-name}} with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok.io then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok.io.
  • Zip up the contents of the Manifest folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)

• Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")

  • Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
