In case that the user selects the wrong app, it can be changed in the Default Apps for custom protocols for example in Windows 10: By default it's easy to choose which app should be used.
The process that runs once the user clicks on the link is simple, as first an alert dialog of the browser will appear asking for confirmation about the interaction from the browser with an installed app on the system:Īccording to the operative system installed on the client, a system dialog should appear for the user to confirm which application should be used to open that kind of links (obviously skype). The Uniformed Resource Identifier of Skype depends obviously on an installed, updated and running Skype client. The receiving client must obviously concern itself with options related to accepting calls and chats, particularly if your application or webpage is using Skype URIs to connect customers and other interested parties with businesses and organizations.
In this article you will learn how to start a Chat, Call, VoiceMail and other common actions using simply a link element with HTML (following the URI Scheme). If you have any questions, please post a comment below.Just like the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for email addresses (the widely known mailto), you can use a custom scheme to interact with the Skype client in HTML. In any case, Skype for Business already saves all the conversation history so I can go over them once I get free. I now no longer have to reply toe very conversation when I am working. The bot is very rudimentary but gets the job done. I may write another post on Scorables and discuss about it a little more later. In our case, we check if the incoming message was sent from anyone on the filter list and if it is then we just do nothing. Scorables are the way to intercept the bot pipeline and branch off with another logic based on requirements. The Exception Filter is managed in ManagerScorable which implements IScorable. This allows us to catch the bot response and instead of sending it to the Bot Connector, we use Lync SDK once again to reply it to our counterpart. Based on the context, it will then send it response back to - BotToUserLync class which implements IBotToUser. The bot then follows usual flow of sending the text to LUIS and determining the intent. Private async void SendToBot ( ConversationService conversationService, string text ) The exception list is located in App.config in the console project. Copy your LUIS model id and subscription key and paste it in LuisModel attribute in LyncLuisDialog.cs. The bot service is not hosted as Web Api, but runs within the console applications.įirst create a new LUIS application by importing the model json from LuisModel directory. I don’t want to reply to my manager that I am busy if he pings me. Exception Filter - Bot does not reply anything if sender is present in Exception List.Ignore any other messages - Pretend I am busy.
Lync SDK is fairly straightforward to use.
So after searching a bit, I found that Lync 2013 SDK still works with Skype for Business (courtesy to my friend Om) and found an excellent starter code at Taha Amin’s Github Repo BotConnectorSkypeForBusiness. Skype for Business has set of APIs called Unified Communications Web API which can enable us to integrate it with a bot, however it is unnecessarily complicated (it requires 5 HTTP calls to just send 1 message). Unfortunately, Microsoft Bot Framework does not support Skype for Business as one of the channels so I had to find another way to make it works. So I thought why not create a bot that replies to the messages for me. And then it takes even more time to reply and finish the conversation, because not replying to colleagues is just rude. The most common distraction while working is popping up of Skype message. We use Skype for Business in our organization which is a fairly common IM applications used in enterprises.
