MS Bot Framework: Correct Event JSON structure for HTTP request using Direct Line API 3.0

Question

Hi,

I have implemented a bot using Azure Bot Composer and I want to use a custom event as a trigger for a welcome dialog. I implemented this trigger using bot composer as follows:

However, I can't seem to trigger this event using HTTP requests. I tried following the event structure from the official repo but the bot doesn't respond to my event request. The structure that I used is:

{   
  "type": "event",   
  "channelId": "directline",   
  "from": { "id": "UnityUserId", "name": "Unity User 1" },   
  "value": "test",   
  "name": "welcome"   
}  

Is anything wrong here? I can't directly see the problem.

@Jelle Van De Sijpe I think your scenario is similar to the one mentioned in this issue.
Could you check if this works with the activity event mentioned for the webchat to composer?
