Conversations class

Create a Conversations.

new Conversations(client: ConnectorClientContext)

Parameters

Create a new Conversation. POST to this method with a

• Bot being the bot creating the conversation
• IsGroup set to true if this is not a direct message (default is false)
• Array containing the members to include in the conversation

The return value is a ResourceResponse which contains a conversation id which is suitable for use in the message payload and REST API uris.

Most channels only support the semantics of bots initiating a direct message conversation. An example of how to do that would be:

const resource = await connector.conversations.createConversation({
    bot,
    members: [{ id: 'user1' }]
});
await connector.conversations.sendToConversation(resource.Id, ... );

function createConversation(parameters: ConversationParameters, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsCreateConversationResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsCreateConversationResponse>

function createConversation(parameters: ConversationParameters, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ConversationResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function createConversation(parameters: ConversationParameters, callback: ServiceCallback<ConversationResourceResponse>)

Parameters

Delete an existing activity. Some channels allow you to delete an existing activity, and if successful this method will remove the specified activity.

function deleteActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<RestResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<msRest.RestResponse>

function deleteActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<void>)

Parameters

function deleteActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, callback: ServiceCallback<void>)

Parameters

Deletes a member from a conversation. This REST API takes a ConversationId and a memberId (of type string) and removes that member from the conversation. If that member was the last member of the conversation, the conversation will also be deleted.

function deleteConversationMember(conversationId: string, memberId: string, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<RestResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<msRest.RestResponse>

function deleteConversationMember(conversationId: string, memberId: string, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<void>)

Parameters

function deleteConversationMember(conversationId: string, memberId: string, callback: ServiceCallback<void>)

Parameters

Enumerate the members of an activity. This REST API takes a ConversationId and a ActivityId, returning an array of ChannelAccount objects representing the members of the particular activity in the conversation.

function getActivityMembers(conversationId: string, activityId: string, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsGetActivityMembersResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsGetActivityMembersResponse>

function getActivityMembers(conversationId: string, activityId: string, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>)

Parameters

function getActivityMembers(conversationId: string, activityId: string, callback: ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>)

Parameters

function getConversationMember(conversationId: string, memberId: string, options?: RequestOptionsBase | ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>, callback?: ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>): Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationMemberResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Enumerate the members of a conversation. This REST API takes a ConversationId and returns an array of ChannelAccount objects representing the members of the conversation.

function getConversationMembers(conversationId: string, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationMembersResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationMembersResponse>

function getConversationMembers(conversationId: string, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>)

Parameters

function getConversationMembers(conversationId: string, callback: ServiceCallback<ChannelAccount[]>)

Parameters

Enumerate the members of a conversation one page at a time. This REST API takes a ConversationId. Optionally a pageSize and/or continuationToken can be provided. It returns a PagedMembersResult, which contains an array of ChannelAccounts representing the members of the conversation and a continuation token that can be used to get more values.

One page of ChannelAccounts records are returned with each call. The number of records in a page may vary between channels and calls. The pageSize parameter can be used as a suggestion. If there are no additional results the response will not contain a continuation token. If there are no members in the conversation the Members will be empty or not present in the response.

A response to a request that has a continuation token from a prior request may rarely return members from a previous request.

function getConversationPagedMembers(conversationId: string, options?: ConversationsGetConversationPagedMembersOptionalParams): Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationPagedMembersResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationPagedMembersResponse>

function getConversationPagedMembers(conversationId: string, options: ConversationsGetConversationPagedMembersOptionalParams, callback: ServiceCallback<PagedMembersResult>)

Parameters

function getConversationPagedMembers(conversationId: string, callback: ServiceCallback<PagedMembersResult>)

Parameters

List the Conversations in which this bot has participated. GET from this method with a skip token

The return value is a ConversationsResult, which contains an array of ConversationMembers and a skip token. If the skip token is not empty, then there are further values to be returned. Call this method again with the returned token to get more values.

Each ConversationMembers object contains the ID of the conversation and an array of ChannelAccounts that describe the members of the conversation.

function getConversations(options?: ConversationsGetConversationsOptionalParams): Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationsResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsGetConversationsResponse>

function getConversations(options: ConversationsGetConversationsOptionalParams, callback: ServiceCallback<ConversationsResult>)

Parameters

function getConversations(callback: ServiceCallback<ConversationsResult>)

Parameters

This method allows you to reply to an activity. This is slightly different from SendToConversation().

• SendToConversation(conversationId) - will append the activity to the end of the conversation according to the timestamp or semantics of the channel.
• ReplyToActivity(conversationId,ActivityId) - adds the activity as a reply to another activity, if the channel supports it. If the channel does not support nested replies, ReplyToActivity falls back to SendToConversation.

Use ReplyToActivity when replying to a specific activity in the conversation.

Use SendToConversation in all other cases.

function replyToActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsReplyToActivityResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsReplyToActivityResponse>

function replyToActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function replyToActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

This method allows you to upload the historic activities to the conversation. Sender must ensure that the historic activities have unique ids and appropriate timestamps. The ids are used by the client to deal with duplicate activities and the timestamps are used by the client to render the activities in the right order.

function sendConversationHistory(conversationId: string, history: Transcript, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsSendConversationHistoryResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsSendConversationHistoryResponse>

function sendConversationHistory(conversationId: string, history: Transcript, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function sendConversationHistory(conversationId: string, history: Transcript, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

This method allows you to send an activity to the end of a conversation. This is slightly different from ReplyToActivity().

• SendToConversation(conversationId) - will append the activity to the end of the conversation according to the timestamp or semantics of the channel.
• ReplyToActivity(conversationId,ActivityId) - adds the activity as a reply to another activity, if the channel supports it. If the channel does not support nested replies, ReplyToActivity falls back to SendToConversation.

Use ReplyToActivity when replying to a specific activity in the conversation.

Use SendToConversation in all other cases.

function sendToConversation(conversationId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsSendToConversationResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsSendToConversationResponse>

function sendToConversation(conversationId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function sendToConversation(conversationId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

Edit an existing activity. Some channels allow you to edit an existing activity to reflect the new state of a bot conversation.

For example, you can remove buttons after someone has clicked "Approve" button.

function updateActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsUpdateActivityResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsUpdateActivityResponse>

function updateActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function updateActivity(conversationId: string, activityId: string, activity: Partial<Activity>, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

Upload an attachment directly into a channel's blob storage. This is useful because it allows you to store data in a compliant store when dealing with enterprises.

The response is a ResourceResponse which contains an AttachmentId which is suitable for using with the attachments API.

function uploadAttachment(conversationId: string, attachmentUpload: AttachmentData, options?: RequestOptionsBase): Promise<Models.ConversationsUploadAttachmentResponse>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<Models.ConversationsUploadAttachmentResponse>

function uploadAttachment(conversationId: string, attachmentUpload: AttachmentData, options: RequestOptionsBase, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)

Parameters

function uploadAttachment(conversationId: string, attachmentUpload: AttachmentData, callback: ServiceCallback<ResourceResponse>)
