Task Modules allow you to create modal popup experiences in your Teams bot or application. This sample shows how to fetch a Task Module from a Hero Card button and receive input from an Adaptive Card in the Task Module.
Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app manifest (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).
Teams Task Module: Manifest
- Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
- Python SDK version 3.7
- dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
Note these instructions are for running the sample on your local machine, the tunnelling solution is required because the Teams service needs to call into the bot.
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git
-
Run ngrok - point to port 3978
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
Alternatively, you can also use the
dev tunnels
. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
-
Create Bot Framework registration resource in Azure
- Use the current
https
URL you were given by running the tunneling application. Append with the path/api/messages
used by this sample - Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- If you don't have an Azure account you can use this Bot Framework registration
- Use the current
-
Bring up a terminal, navigate to
Microsoft-Teams-Samples\samples\python\bot-task-module
folder -
Activate your desired virtual environment
-
Install dependencies by running
pip install -r requirements.txt
in the project folder. -
Update the
config.py
configuration for the bot to use the Microsoft App Id and App Password from the Bot Framework registration. (Note the App Password is referred to as the "client secret" in the azure portal and you can always create a new client secret anytime.) -
Update
CustomForm.html
to replace your Microsoft App Id everywhere you see the place holder string<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>>
-
This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the
manifest.json
contained in theappManifest
folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your bot earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string<<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>>
(depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in themanifest.json
). Note: the Task Modules containing pages will require the deployed bot's domain in validDomains of the manifest. - Zip up the contents of the
appManifest
folder to create amanifest.zip
- Upload the
manifest.zip
to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Edit the
-
Run your bot with
python app.py
Note this
manifest.json
specified that the bot will be installed in "personal", "team" and "groupchat" scope which is why you immediately entered a one on one chat conversation with the bot. You can at mention the bot in a group chat or in a Channel in the Team you installed it in. Please refer to Teams documentation for more details.
You can interact with this bot by sending it a message. The bot will respond with a Hero Card with a button which will display a Task Module when clicked. The Task Module demonstrates retrieving input from a user through a Text Block and a Submit button.
