Sharepoint List Bot

Bot Framework v4 SPListBot sample.

This bot has been created using Bot Framework, it shows how to create a simple bot that accepts input from the user and save it into sharepoint's List.

Prerequisites

• .NET Core SDK version 3.1

  # determine dotnet version
  dotnet --version

To try this sample

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

• Run the bot from a terminal or from Visual Studio:

  A) From a terminal, navigate to samples/bot-sharepoint-list/csharp folder

  # run the bot
  dotnet run

  • Launch Visual Studio
  • File -> Open -> Project/Solution
  • Navigate to samples/bot-sharepoint-list/csharp folder
  • Select SPListBot.csproj file
  • Press F5 to run the project

  Step 1: Register a new app

  You need to register a new addin/app in your Sharepoint site, this will generate a ClientID and a Client Secret, which we will use to authenticate. Lets see how to do it.

  Go to _layouts/15/appregnew.aspx under the SP Online site which you want to use as document repository.

  Step 2: Know your Tenant ID and Resource ID

  It is very important to know your tenant ID for triggering any kind of service calls. You can get your Tenant ID, Resource Id by following below points:

  1. Navigate to https//{SharePointDomain}/_layouts/15/appprincipals.aspx
  2. You will see Site Collection App Permissions under site settings.
  3. You can check your any App and get the Tenant Id and Resource Id from App Identifier. The part after "@" is your tenant ID and the part before @ is Resource ID.

  Step 3: Update your appSetting.json

  MicrosoftAppId: <<Your Microsoft Bot_Id>>

  "MicrosoftAppPassword": <<Your Microsoft Bot_Secret>>

  "BaseUrl": <<Bot_endpoint_url>>

  "TenantID": <<Sharepoint Tenant Id>>

  "ResourceID": <<SP_Resource_ID>>

  "TenantName": <<sahrepoint Tenant Name>>

  "SiteName": <<Shareppint site name>>

  "ListName": <<Custom list name which created at site>>

  "AppClientID": <<Custom Client App ID created at sharepoint App>>

  "AppSecret": <<App Secret Id for sharepoint App>>

  Step 4: Grant permissions

  New Client app has been created in SP Online site, now its time to decide what permissions this app should have on your site. You can grant Site collection, web or even at list level read or write permissions.

  Go to /_layouts/15/appinv.aspx and serach with ClientID we generated earlier. The application will fetch all other details based on your ClientID.
