Outgoing Webhook Sample Node.js

Summary

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.

Interaction with app

Prerequisites

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

Setup

1. Create Webhook

• 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> <card-type> then it will respond back a card with specified card type.

  Supported : "adaptive-card", "hero-card", "list-card", "o365-card", "thumbnail-card"

2. Setup NGROK

• Run ngrok - point to port 3978

  ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"

  Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:

  devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous

3. Setup Code

• In a terminal, navigate to samples/outgoing-webhook/nodejs

• Install modules

  npm install

• Install modules

  npm install

• Run your bot at the command line:

  npm start

Running the sample

• Example screenshot to show Hero card:

• Supported : "adaptive-card", "hero-card", "list-card", "o365-card", "thumbnail-card"

• If you type anything else apart from above mentioned type, it will echo back what you typed.

• Example screenshot to show Echo message:
