Microsoft Teams outgoing webhook sample

This project is an implementation of a very simple Outgoing Webhook for Microsoft Teams. All it does is verify that what's sending messages matches the Outgoing Webhook that was created in Teams, and it echoes back whatever is sent to it.

Steps to run locally

Prerequisites

• Install Git for windows: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

• Clone this repo:

  git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/msteams-samples-outgoing-webhook-nodejs.git
  

• Install Node: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

• Install a tunnelling service. These instructions assume you are using ngrok: https://ngrok.com/

• Start the tunneling service, e.g. ngrok http 8080 and copy the https:// URL it generates to the clipboard, e.g. https://2fb7b5e8.ngrok.io

• Create the Outgoing Webhook in Teams using the instructions here. Paste the tunneling service URL from the previous step into the "Callback URL" box. After you press the Create button, copy/paste the security token that Teams generates to the clipboard.

• Paste the security token generated by Teams as the value of sharedSecret in app.js. When you're done, it should look something like this:

  const sharedSecret = "+ZaRRMC8+mpnfGaGsBOmkIFt98bttL5YQRq3p2tXgcE=";

• In the directory in which you installed this project, type node app.js

• In Microsoft Teams, in any channel in the team in which you created the Outgoing Webhook, you can type @<botname> hello (or anything else you like) and it will echo back its name and what you typed.
