  5. Adding the Skype Channel

Adding the Skype Channel

To add the Skype channel to your bot, you need a developer Microsoft Bot Framework account to configure the connection between Skype and Kore.ai. Adding the Skype channel to your Kore.ai bot is a three-step process to allow end-users to interact with your bot. To add the Skype channel to your bot, follow the below steps:

  1. Register the Bot – In your Microsoft Bot Framework developer account, you must register the bot by adding all the bot details and creating the App ID and Password. To register the bot, you must have created and registered for a free account in the Microsoft Bot Framework developer portal.
  2. Enable Channel – After registering the bot, you must enable the channel.
  3. Publish Channel – After the channel is enabled and all configurations are verified, you must publish the bot to make it available for developers.

Add Skype Channel

To complete this procedure, you must have or register for a new developer account in the Microsoft Bot Framework developer portal.

  1. In Bot Builder, under the Bots section, click the bot you want to add the Skype channel to.
  2. On the Channels tab, click the Expand  icon for the Skype section. The Skype Channel page is displayed.
  3. Log in to the Microsoft Bot Framework portal, and then click Register a bot.
  4. On the Register a bot tab, under the Bot profile section, enter your Bot Name, Bot handle, and Description.
  5. In the Configuration section, paste the Webhook URL from the Bot Builder into the Messaging endpoint field. For example, https://bots.kore.ai/hooks/skype/st-2724c525-484b-55ca-a844-8d7dfa6b6b23
  6. Click Create Microsoft App ID and password as shown in the following illustration.
  7. On the Generate App ID and password page, click Generate an app password to continue.
  8. Save the generated Password and the App ID to use later in the Register the Bot tab in Bot Builder for the Skype Channel page.

    Note: The only time the full password is displayed is when it is generated and displayed in the Generate Password dialog. Copy and save the password to a secure location until added to the Skype Channel page in Bot Builder.
