Connect Rasa Bot to Microsoft Teams

Rasa Open Source
1

I have a Rasa bot in local environment and exposed it with ngrok and it fails to connect to Microsoft Teams channel.

I am using the endpoint “https://xxxxxx.ngrok.io/webhooks/botframework/webhook”

I have also created a Azure Active Directory app and provided the credentials in credentials.yml

Bot failed to get the token so I had to change the MICROSOFT_OAUTH2_PATH in botframework.py from

MICROSOFT_OAUTH2_PATH = “botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token”

to following

MICROSOFT_OAUTH2_PATH = “my-default-directory-id/oauth2/v2.0/token”

No I can get the token but I am getting the following error

I can see that the message is receiving and intent detection is done but it fails to send the reply. I have logged the post_message_uri, headers and message_data

I have added following permissions to my Azure Active Directory app

Delegated Permissions

  • User.Read
  • User.ReadAll
  • User.ReadBasic.All
  • User.ReadWrite.All
  • openid
  • profile

Application Permissions

  • User.ReadAll
  • User.ReadWrite.All

All the permissions have been granted admin consent but still it says Error trying to send botframework messge. Response: {“message”:“Authorization has been denied for this request.”}

How can I solve this?

@ishan-anuranga am as well facing exact same issue. Did you resolve it?

@erohmensing any idea about this error?

4

@ishan-anuranga no luck for past 30 days. Just curious, did you resolve this issue?

@tmbo @erohmensing you guys have any one in mind who can help me here?

For those who comes here in future

Issue has been resolved.

Reason: I was using Rest APi with single tenant AAD application configuration.

Solution: Now converted that into multi-tenant AAD app based on this answer

Also change (or keep as it is ) the MICROSOFT_OAUTH2_PATH = “botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token” ;

can you explain this in a little more details please. I am having a similar Problem while trying to access Rasa moodbot on localhost. from Teams

Sorry, missed your question.

For debugging, we have modified few parameters such as MICROSOFT_OAUTH2_PATH in botframework.py.(rasa/botframework.py at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub)

Please check the actual question for more details.

But finally i reverted back to whatever existed in botframework.py in the master branch.

Sorry for the late reply @AshwaniT…

I dont have any specific document for this setup. Let me narrate what i did as much as possible.

  1. Register the endpoint (http://domainname:5005/webhooks/botframework/webhook/) in Azure --> Bot Channels Registration.
  2. Link TEAMS in Channels option inside the Bot Channels Registration
  3. Note down the Microsoft App ID & pwd and use it in credentials.yml.
  4. Create an app in TEAMS using Manifest Editor
