Archive groupchat messages

Using this nodejs sample, a bot can archive chat messages of groupchat and send it to user.

This feature shown in this sample is currently available in Public Developer Preview only.

Key features

• Sending archive chat messages text file of a groupchat to user

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account (not a guest account)
• NodeJS
• ngrok or equivalent tunneling solution
• M365 developer account or access to a Teams account with the appropriate permissions to install an app.

To try this sample

Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.

1. Setup for Bot SSO

In Azure portal, create a Bot Framework registration resource.

• Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
• Refer this for setting the connection string

Add this permission to app registration

2. Run your bot sample

1. Clone the repository

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

2. In a terminal, navigate to samples/bot-archive-groupchat-messages/nodejs

3. Install modules

   npm install

4. Run ngrok - point to port 3978

   ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 3978

5. Update the .env configuration for the bot to use the MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword and ConnectionName from the Bot Framework registration. (Note that the MicrosoftAppId is the AppId created in step 1 (Setup for Bot SSO), the MicrosoftAppPassword is referred to as the "client secret" in step 1 (Setup for Bot SSO) and you can always create a new client secret anytime.)

6. Run your bot at the command line:

   npm start

• Manually update the manifest.json

  • Edit the manifest.json contained in the /appPackage folder to and fill in MicrosoftAppId (that was created in step 1 and it is the same value of MicrosoftAppId as in .env file) everywhere you see the place holder string <<MICROSOFT-APP-ID>> (depending on the scenario it may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
  • In the valid domains section of the manifest update your ngrok url {<<ngrokid>>.ngrok.io}.
  • Zip up the contents of the /appPackage folder to create a manifest.zip
  • Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the left-bottom Apps view, click "Upload a custom app")

  IMPORTANT: The manifest file in this app adds "token.botframework.com" to the list of validDomains. This must be included in any bot that uses the Bot Framework OAuth flow.

Interacting with the bot in GroupChat

Select a groupchat and add the bot to chat.

Send getchat message to the bot, you will recieve a consent card by the bot in your personal scope.
