Connecting RASA to a Azure Web Bot

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi guys,

So I’m currently working on a proof of concept on using RASA on our Teams. I followed the discussion here Microsoft Bot Framework Connection - Rasa Open Source - Rasa Community Forum where they mention it would be easier to connect RASA with Azure Web Bot after updating the messaging endpoint

I also followed the guide to edit my credentials.yml Microsoft Bot Framework (rasa.com)

Unfortunately after I made all of this changes, I am getting this error:

2021-01-10 05:35:40 ERROR    rasa.core.channels.rest  - An exception occured while handling user message 'None'.

Any ideas?

Anyone had an issue, double check your endpoint, it should be http://host:port/webhooks/botframework/webhook

I was using rest instead of botframework.

Hi @franzbuenaventura did you manage to solve your initial problem?

Yes I did, I had the wrong webhook all this time.

Thanks
