Link unfurling meeting sample

About

This sample illustrates a common scenario where a user shares a link to a resource (dashboard in this sample) with a group of users, and they collaborate to review it in a meeting.

Unfurl a link to a dashboard

Workflow:

• User shares a link to a dashboard with a group of users.
• Teams app unfurls the link to an adaptive card with actions to view it in a stage tab or review it in a meeting.

Review in meeting

Workflow:

• Other user in the group chooses to review the dashboard in a meeting.
• Teams app creates a new meeting, adds a tab (that points to the dashboard originally shared) to a meeting.
• User automatically joins the meeting and reviews the tab.
• User shares the tab to meeting stage view with other users.

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have an active Azure subscription.
• Make sure Publish to organization's app store is available in Teams.
• Install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code to run and debug the sample code.
  • .NET Core SDK version 3.1
• Install ngrok for local setup. (or any other tunneling solution)

Setup

Bot setup

• Register a bot with Azure.

  • Make sure to copy and save the Azure Bot resource app ID and password.

• Connect the bot to Microsoft Teams.

• Run ngrok and point it to port: 3978.

  ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 3978 
  

  • Make sure to copy and save the https url (it should look like https://<randomsubdomain>.ngrok.io).

• Follow steps to setup tab SSO on this page

  • Go to bot application registered in step 1.
  • Follow the steps 1.5 (expose an API) -1.14 (navigate to Authentication) in the Tab SSO link.
    • fully-qualified-domain-name.com is ngrok url domain saved earlier. (ex. <randomsubdomain.ngrok.io)
    • appId - is the app ID saved earlier.
    • In step 1.13 (Navigate to API Permissions), add the following delegated graph permissions
      • TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForChat, TeamsTab.ReadWriteForChat, Chat.ReadBasic and OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.
    • In step 1.14 (Navigate to Authentication):
      • Add another re-direct URI https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect (for Bot authentication)
      • Select the Access tokens and ID tokens checkboxes.

• Follow steps to add OAuth connection setting on this page

  • Use App ID and app secrets saved earlier.
  • Make sure to copy and save OAuth connection name.
  • For Scopes, enter all the delegated graph permissions configured in the app.

• Update Bot messaging endpoint to ngrok url with messaging endpoint. (ex. https://<randomsubdomain>.ngrok.io/api/messages

Publish AppPackage to App Catalog

• Update the following in the manifest.json.
  • {Bot App Id} - Replace with app ID saved earlier.
  • {BaseUrl} - Replace with ngrok url saved earlier.
  • {WebsiteUrl} - Replace with ngrok url saved earlier.
  • {domain} - Replace with ngrok domain. (ex. <randomsubdomain>.ngrok.io)
  • description, developer - Update these fields with relevant information.
• Zip the manifest and app icons. (say sample.zip)
• Publish the app package to organization's app store.
  • Make sure to copy and save app's ID in organization's app store.
• Grant admin conset - https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id={client-id} where
  • {client-id} is the app ID saved earlier.
  • {tenant-id} is your organization's tenant ID.

Project setup

• Clone the repo or download the sample code to your machine.
• Update the following settings in appsettings.json
  • MicrosoftAppId - App ID saved earlier.
  • ClientId - App ID saved earlier.
  • TeamsBot:AppId - App ID saved earlier.
  • MicrosoftAppPassword - App secret saved earlier.
  • ClientSecret - App secret saved earlier.
  • ConnectionName - Connection name
  • BaseUrl - ngrok url saved earlier.
  • TenantId - Tenant ID where you wll run the Teams application.
  • CatalogAppId - App ID in organization's app store saved earlier.
• Update the following in .env under ClientApp.
  • REACT_APP_BASE_URL - ngrok url saved earlier.
  • REACT_APP_AZURE_APP_REGISTRATION_ID - App ID saved earlier.
• Build and run the sample code in Visual studio / Visual studio code.

Basic Tests

• You should be able to install the application to personal scope, group chats and Teams.
• Share a link say https://<randomdomain>.ngrok.io/dashboard1 and application should prompt the user to sign-in and unfurl it to an adaptive card post sign-in.
• You should be able to open stage tab view from adaptive card.
• You should be able to setup a meeting with everything configured.

Project Structure

• The sample contains 3 projects
  • Web - Exposes REST APIs (including Bot messaging endpoint) for clients to consume and contains ClientApp logic.
  • Domain - Contains the business logic to setup online meetings based on where the resource is shared.
  • Infrastructure - Fulfills Domain's dependencies. Example - resource service, card factory to prepare card etc. If you want to change AC, or connect to a resource service, this is where you would make the changes.

Troubleshooting

• If the web application fails to load, run npm install and npm run build under ClientApp folder.
• If the meeting setup fails with 403 (Not authorized), make sure you grant admin consent on behalf of all the users.
  • Grant admin conset - https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id={client-id} where
  • {client-id} is the app ID saved earlier.
  • {tenant-id} is your organization's tenant ID.
